    INGREDIENTS

    SPICED LENTIL
    200g (1 cup) black lentils
    1 tsp berbere spice
    1 tsp onion granules

    TEFF MIX
    200g (1 cup) teff grain
    2 tbsp nutritional yeast
    1 tbsp miso paste

    GREENS
    250g (8 cups) kale (chopped)
    1x red onion (chopped)
    250ml (1 cup) vegetable stock
    1 tbsp berbere spice
    3x fresh garlic (chopped)
    2 tbsp tomato purée
    400g tinned tomatoes
    1 tsp ground coriander
    1 tsp ground turmeric
    1 tsp paprika

    INSTRUCTIONS
    In a medium saucepan, bring the teff flour and water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until the teff is cooked through and has a smooth consistency.
    In a separate saucepan, combine the black lentils, berbere spice blend, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. While the lentils are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the kale and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the kale is wilted.
    To serve, spread the teff on a serving plate. Top with the black lentils, kale, and any additional toppings you like.

    TIPS
    To make this dish gluten-free, be sure to use gluten-free teff flour.
    If you don’t have berbere spice blend, you can substitute a different Ethiopian spice blend, such as mitmita or awaze.
    If you don’t have vegetable broth, you can substitute water or another type of broth.
