Ingredients
1 cup Dried lentils
2 qt Water
1/4 cup Minced shallots
1 x Clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup Water
2 tbl Berbere
1 tbl Olive oil
1/2 tsp Onion salt
Additional water as needed.

Directions
Cook lentils in boiling water about 35 – 40 minutes, until soft and tender.

Meanwhile, cook shallots in a dry pan until soft and light brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Add garlic and continue stirring. Add 1/4 cup water, Berbere, and olive oil.

Drain and mash lentils and add to shallot mixture then stir in onion salt. Simmer 30 minutes to 1 hour. You may need to add more water to keep a consistency similar to oatmeal. Serve hot or at room temp.
