Ethiopian Lentil Stew (Ye Misr Wot)

This my favourite Ethiopian dish, very simple to make and very warming. Can be made as spicy as you like. Usually served with fermented injera bread but tastes just as good with some fluffy rice or flatbread. The key that provides the distinctive flavour is the berbere spice mix which I think can be found in Waitrose. It's a traditional Ethiopian spice mix with lots of flavour and heat. #WorldPulseDay
