ETHIOPIAN BEEF JERKY AND SPLIT LENTILS STEW (QUWANTA-MISER WOT)
It is a delicious dish with Injera (Ethiopian flat bread). I like it because it was my grandfather's favorite dish.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but I really enjoyed this dish. The beef jerky and spices really balance out the flavor of the lentils.

[email protected]This dish is a bit spicy, but I love it that way. If you don't like spicy food, you can always reduce the amount of berbere.
