Lentils Of Doom - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups dried lentils
6 cups water
1 large anaheim chili, seeded and chopped
1 small white onion, chopped fine
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon berbere, spice (ie. from Victorian Epicure)
1 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Boil the lentils in water for 5 minutes. Drain, reserving liquid.
In large pot, saute the anaheim pepper and onions in the butter until the onions are tender.
Add the lentils, 6 cups of the reserved liquid (top up with water to make 6 cups), and the remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer.
Cook, covered over M-L heat for 70 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
