Recipe - Misir Wat - Ethiopian Lentil Stew

2 cup Split lentils
6 cup Water
2 cup Red onion; chopped
2 cup Oil or butter
1 tablespoon Ginger
1 teaspoon Garlic
4 Hot green peppers
One fourth teaspoon Black pepper
Salt; to taste

Wash lentils and boil for 5 minutes. Cook onions adding oil and stirring
gently so onions do not turn brown. Remove lentils from the heat, drain and
reserve water for latter use. Add lentils to the onions. Add reserved
water, stirring to prevent mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Add spices and salt to taste. Simmer for another 20 minutes. This recipe
will serve 6.

NOTES : The amount of butter/oil seems awfully high. None of the links
connected with the recipe are valid, so verification will be difficult...
