Ethiopian misr wat is a richly spiced lentil dish usually served with injera, a nutritious teff flatbread. Authentic injera requires a 48-hour fermentation process similar to sourdough bread-making. In this recipe we created a quick injera mix to satisfy those Ethiopian food cravings faster. At an Ethiopian meal, it is common to hand-feed friends and family. This custom, called gursha, fosters a friendly bond. While we don't expect you to feed your guests, we do hope that you share this dish with those you love.
