Step aside Canadian bacon and pineapple. Ethiopian black lentils and bananas are my sweet and savory obsession this week! I know that this might sound like a rather bizarre combination, but really we do things like this all of the time. Sweet and savory elements […]
This black lentil salad recipe is an amalgam of cooking dilemmas or curiosities. I was thinking about making a vegetarian Doro Wat. Doro Wat is an Ethiopian chicken stew with hardboiled eggs, berbere, niter kibbeh (spiced clarified butter), and sometimes tomato paste. Which isn’t quite […]
I have had quite a difficult time finding good bulk lentils. Especially in rural Wisconsin. So, I’ve been slowly going through them until there is almost nothing left! And I have finally reached the end of my pantry and must do something with the black […]
This is another one of those meals that isn’t as far fetched as it seems! Ethiopian red lentils and sautéed spinach are often eaten with injera, a flatbread that is made out of teff. To someone who’s never seen it before, injera vaguely resembles a […]
