A fusion of two Ethiopian classic dishes. I recommend LikeitLoveIt's Niteh Kebbeh (Ethiopian spiced butter)Niter Kebbeh for this recipe. Lentil recipe found online somewhere..?? Ingredients:
1/2 lb dried yellow lentils |
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
2 -3 tablespoons niter kebbeh, to taste (read *intro) |
1 teaspoon salt |
black pepper, to taste |
1 jalapeno, stemmed, seeded, minced (decrease amount for less spicy version) |
diced white onions or red onion |
fresh cilantro leaves |
lemon wedge |
Directions:
1. Lentils: Rinse the lentils under running water in a strainer. Place the lentils into a pot of boiling water enough to cover by 2 .
2. Simmer the lentils for 30 minutes until soft but al dente. Do not overcook! Drain thoroughly and set aside.
3. Combine the red wine vinegar, niter kebbeh, salt, and black pepper in a deep bowl. Mix well. Add the lentils and jalapenos; toss gently.
4. Transfer to a platter and garnish with diced onion, cilantro leaves and a few lemon wedges.
5. Let sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to marinate.
