1 piece yellow onion, diced
4 pieces cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 piece fresh ginger, minced

1 piece Yogurt & cilantro to garnish, optional

Steps:

1. Rinse lentils in a sieve under cold running water and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, saute onion in canola oil over medium heat until the onions turn golden, about 10-15 minutes.
3. Add ginger and garlic and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add RawSpiceBar's Berbere spices, stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add lentils and cook for about 5 minutes.
5. Add chopped tomatoes and broth, bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, until lentils are soft, about 25 minutes. Stir occasionally, adding more liquid if needed. Salt & pepper to taste.
