Kik Wot (Ethiopian Red Lentil Stew) May 8, 2008

Ingredients
4 C. Red Lentils (these can be tough to find in regular grocery stores, but look with the Indian food…they cook WAY quicker than brown lentils and this dish works much better with them. That said, if you can’t find them, use brown lentils, but you’ll need extra cooking time and more water)
1 Large Onion (Finely Chopped)
1 C. Spiced Butter (recipe on this blog)
5 t. Garlic (Minced)
2 T. Berbere
2 t. Salt
2 C. Water

Method
1. In a large pot, saute onion, garlic and berbere in spiced butter until onions translucent. Add lentils and water, then simmer about 20 minutes.
