Quick Eritrean Lentils image

A quick and easy version of Eritrean/Ethiopian lentils. Could also be called curry lentils. The great thing is that you can leave this at a simmer and walk away, just stirring occasionally and adding more water until you reach the desired consistency.

I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but this dish was surprisingly good. The flavors were well-balanced and the lentils were cooked perfectly.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I usually make a big batch of lentils on the weekend and then use them to make this dish during the week.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my lentils turned out mushy. I think I might have cooked them for too long.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

I had a hard time finding berbere, but I was able to substitute another Ethiopian spice blend. The dish still turned out great!

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less berbere next time.
