Incredibly simple and very delicious - will definitely be making again. The berebere does give this a noticeable spice, so moderate use if sensitive to spice.

Made again, this time a double batch. I forgot to mention previously that I used about 3/4 tsp. for a single batch, and forgot to add any salt at all to this batch (oops). The 3/4 tsp. the first time was just about perfect. The lentils were overcooked this time, and much looser than the first (which was actually too dry). I think this may be attributed to adding slightly too much water and cooking for too long to compensate.
