Lentil (Misir-Spicy)

Description

Ethiopian Misir Wot is a rich, flavorful, and hearty lentil stew that is a staple of Ethiopian cuisine. Made primarily from split red lentils, the dish is cooked with onions, garlic, and a generous amount of berbere—a fiery, aromatic spice blend that gives the stew its vibrant red color and distinctive heat. The lentils are simmered until soft and infused with the deep, smoky flavors of the spices, creating a creamy, slightly spicy dish with a hint of sweetness. Misir Wot is traditionally served on a bed of injera, allowing the spongy flatbread to soak up the flavorful stew. With its robust, comforting taste and satisfying texture, Misir Wot is a beloved dish in Ethiopian households and a favorite in vegan and vegetarian meals.
