Where to Find the Berbere-Spiced Red Lentils Recipe

Question

Watched Milk Street episode recently with Christopher Kimbell preparing an Ethiopian Lentil dish that was flavored with Berbere spice. He added many different spices but didn't give the amounts of each spice.
Q: Is there a recipe for this dish with the amounts of the spices included?  Thanks.

Hello Thomas –
Yes, the recipe is Berbere-Spiced Red Lentils. You can find it in the most recent edition of our TV cookbook, our "365" cookbook, in the July/Aug 2022 issue of our magazine and online. The recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of berbere spice which you can purchase as a spice blend or you can make your own and measure out 1 tablespoon. Attached is a pdf of the Milk Street berbere spice blend.
