Misir Wot (Ethiopian Spicy Lentils)

1 1/2 c. red lentils

3 c. water

1 large onion, finely chopped

2 T. olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 T. Berbere spice mix (see recipe on this blog)

1. Heat oil in a large skillet and saute onions until they're translucent. Add garlic and lentils.
2. Stir fry lentils until the skins become slightly darker. Add water, Berbere spice mix, and allow them to simmer until lentils are soft and nearly disintegrated. (You might need to add more water as the lentils cook.)
