Steps:
- Place the lentils in a large bowl and fill with cold water. Massage the lentils with your hands to remove any dirt or debris. Rinse the lentils a few times until the water runs clear. This may require several rinses. Soak the lentils in lukewarm water for approximately 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the onions and tomatoes to a large pot and cook over medium heat until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the olive oil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Make sure the onions do not get too dark. Add the berbere and continue to cook until the berbere is fully combined with the onion and tomato mixture, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 cup water and cook the tomato, onion and berbere mixture until it reduces and begins to stick to the pan, about 10 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the bottom of the pot to bring up the stuck tomatoes and onions. Add another 1 cup water and allow the mixture to reduce again for another 10 minutes. Scrape the bottom of the pot. Add 1 cup water more, reduce again for 10 minutes then scrape the bottom of the pot (Adding and reducing 3 times will give your lentils a rich and layered flavor.) Be sure not to step away from the pot during this process. As Azla says, "Misir wot has jealous tendencies and wants your full, undivided attention from start to finish."
- Strain the soaked lentils in a colander and allow them to drain for a few minutes. Meanwhile, add 8 cups water to the pot and bring to a rolling boil. Add the lentils, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick and the lentils are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Finish with the ground nutmeg and sea salt to taste. Serve with injera or your favorite whole grain.
ALICHA MISIR
Alicha misir is a delicious red lentil dish prepared with turmeric that can be served warm or at room temperature. It's served during fasting seasons, such as the lead-up to Ethiopian Orthodox Christmas, when observers follow a strict vegan diet and have only one meal a day. The lentils can also complement any meat dish other times of the year.

Steps:
- For the lentils: Start with warming the oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and turmeric and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually add 2 cups of the hot water and bring it to a boil. Add the lentils and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally and adding the remaining hot water as needed, until the lentils are thickened and can be broken with a spoon, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the jalapeño, cover and simmer for 2 minutes and let it settle. Add more salt, to taste.
- For the tomato salad: Stir to combine the olive oil, tomatoes, jalapeno, lime juice and onion in a medium bowl. Season with salt and add additional olive oil if needed.
- Serve the alicha misir over a flat piece of injera with the tomato salad and rolled, sliced injera on the side. It also can be served spooned over rice.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
- If you don't have time to make your own dough, you can use store-bought pierogi dough.
- To make the misir wot, you can use canned or dried lentils. If using dried lentils, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
- For a spicier misir wot, add more berbere or cayenne pepper.
- To make the vegan sour cream, you can use any type of plant-based milk. Cashew milk and almond milk work well.
- For a tangier vegan sour cream, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.
- Serve the pierogi with the misir wot and vegan sour cream. You can also garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley.
These vegan misir wot pierogi are a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Serve them with your favorite sides and enjoy!
