      Add lentils and water (3 cups). Simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and creamy.

    4. 4

      In a separate pan, sauté collard greens with garlic, turmeric, and salt until tender.

    5. 5

      Lay injera on a large platter. Spoon lentil stew and greens in mounds on top.

    6. 6

      Tear pieces of injera to scoop up the stews — no utensils needed!
