Tasty Ethiopian treat with a twist
Ingredients
1 cup water
1 cup red lentils
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger root, minced
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp coriander seed ground
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp sweet Hungarian paprika
1 Tbsp chili paste (optional)
1 package of single won-ton wrappers
1 Egg yolk, beaten
1 Tbs water
oil for deep-frying
Instructions
Rinse the lentils and bring them to a boil in water. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes.
Saute the onions, garlic and ginger in the olive oil until the onions are translucent. Add the cayenne, cinnamon, coriander, salt, pepper and paprika and simmer, covered, for 3 minutes, stirring often. Remove the pan from the heat. You can add chili paste if desired.
When the lentils are tender, combine them with the sauteed vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine egg yolk with water. Line wrappers on a flat surface and brush with mixture. Place about a tablespoon of the lentil mixture in the middle of each wrapper. Fold over to form a triangle, pressing ends together.
Deep-fry each pastry until golden in 2 or 3 inches of oil heated to 360F. Enjoy!
