Spiced Ethiopian Chicken and Lentil Stew
Slow-simmered chicken and red lentils infused with aromatic berbere spices, creating a rich and velvety stew that warms from the inside out.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
0.25 cup red lentils
1 tsp ghee
0.5 cup red onion
1 tsp garlic
1 tsp ginger
1 tbsp berbere spice blend
0.5 cup tomato puree
1 cup water
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
PREPARATION
Dice the chicken breast into small, bite-sized cubes and finely chop the red onion.
Heat the ghee in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the red onion and sauté until translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and berbere spice blend. Cook for 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.
Add the chicken cubes to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes until the outsides are lightly browned.
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and add them to the pot along with the tomato puree and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and the stew has thickened.
Season with sea salt and black pepper. If the stew is too thick, add a splash more water to reach your desired consistency.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve warm.
