Ingredients

1 1/2 cups yellow split peas, rinsed and sorted

4 1/2 cups water

2 cups diced onion

1/4 cup water

8 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

1 tablespoon tomato paste

2 tablespoons turmeric

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 tablespoon garam masala

1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder

1/4 cup water

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Place split peas in a medium pot, and add water.

Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, 30 minutes. There will still be some liquid in the pot.

In another large heavy pot, sweat the onion in about 1/4 cup water until very translucent.

Add garlic, ginger and tomato paste and saute two minutes.

Stir in spices and remaining water and cook 5 minutes longer, stirring.

Add the cooked split peas and enough of the cooking liquid to form a gravy-like sauce.

Cook until everything is well combined and hot.

Serve over brown rice, couscous or with naan, injera or pita, if desired.

Hi! Thanks for the cooking friend request (very welcoming!) and for this great recipe! I *loooove* Ethiopian food (gotta add that to my profile...) but have never tried to make it at home. Now, I think I will! :)
