🇪🇹 Ethiopia recipe
Misir Wat
Misir Wat is a fiery red lentil stew and one of the most important dishes in Ethiopian fasting cuisine, where meat and dairy are avoided for over 200 days per year. Split red lentils dissolve into a luscious, thick stew infused with a generous amount of berbere and slowly caramelized onions, creating a deeply warming and satisfying meal.
