Ingredients
Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Lentils
Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils and 2 cups of vegetable broth or water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add Remaining Ingredients
To the skillet, add the diced tomatoes, chopped green bell pepper, Berbere spice blend, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Combine the Lentils and Chickpeas
Once the lentils are cooked, add them to the skillet along with the cooked chickpeas. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. If the mixture seems dry, you can add a splash more of vegetable broth or water.

Serve
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro. Serve hot with injera or rice.
