Azifa is an Ethiopian green lentil dish that combines lentils with lime juice, mild hot peppers, and spices.  It’s served cold as a light snack and is especially popular during lent when meat is prohibited.
Since it’s completely vegetarian, Azifa is served during lent as an easy snack with injera, or as the book says “with lettuce and tomatoes and cottage cheese for a light snack.”  Choose mild chili peppers for just a bit of heat, or go with hot peppers if that’s your preference.
