Misir Wat is a flavorful Ethiopian stew made from red lentils simmered with onions, garlic, ginger, and seasoned with berbere spice and niter kibbeh (spiced clarified butter) or oil. Originating from Ethiopian Orthodox Christian cuisine, especially in Amhara and Tigray regions, it is a staple during fasting periods and a key part of any beyanetu (vegetarian platter). The stew is thick, fiery, and deeply aromatic, commonly served atop injera and paired with other lentil or vegetable dishes.

Common variations include mild versions for children and oil-based vegan preparations for fasting or plant-based diets.
