Total time: 40 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Ethiopian
Ingredients: 1 cup lentils; 2 cups water; 1 red onion, thinly sliced; 2 tomatoes, diced; 1 jalapeño, finely chopped; 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 3 tablespoons lemon juice; Salt and pepper to taste; 2-3 pieces of injera bread, torn into small pieces

Instructions

Rinse the lentils under running water and place them in a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape. Drain any excess water and let the lentils cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked lentils, red onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, and parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the lentil mixture and toss gently to combine, making sure the salad is well coated with the dressing.
Add the torn pieces of injera bread to the salad and mix gently, allowing the bread to soak up the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice based on your preference.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving. This will also give the injera time to soften slightly.
Serve the Azifa Fitfit Lentil Salad With Injera in individual bowls or on a platter, garnished with additional parsley for a fresh touch.
