| 1. LENTILS: | 2. Bring lentils and broth to boil and simmer 10 minutes. | 3. Add chiles, onion, garlic, and Berebere spices. Cook covered for another 30 minutes, until most of liquid is absorbed. | 4. Serve with ground black pepper to taste. | 5. For a vegetarian meal, these lentils are good with a dollop of yogurt, brown rice and sliced tomatoes. | 6. BEREBERE SPICE MIX: | 7. Toast all the seeds and whole cloves in a small frying pan for 2 minutes, stirring constantly (open window or turn on the stove vent--it can smoke). Grind the spices in a spice grinder. If you are using pre-ground spices, ignore and go on to the next step. | 8. Mix all remaining ingredients. Place in a tightly covered container and refrigerate. This mixture can used with many combinations of legumes, rice or vegetables. | 9. NOTE: *OR: 1 bell pepper chopped + 14-oz can chopped green chiles. | 10. NOTE TWO : There are two ways to make this berebere spice mix - with whole spices that you grind, or with powdered versions of the spices. The first way gives you a more powerful flavor, but it may be more practical the second way, particularly if you don't have a spice grinder. | 11. Yield: 6 to 10 servings. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
