Rinse the lentils, then finely chop one onion and two cloves of garlic.
Soften the onion and garlic in part of the oil for 5 minutes, then add the tomato paste and berbere.
Add the lentils, one third of the salt, and 2.5 cups of water, then cook for 20 minutes into a thick stew.
Cut the cabbage, carrots, and potatoes into large pieces, then toss them with the second onion in oil for 6 minutes.
Add the ginger, another third of the salt, and half a cup of water to the vegetables, then soften them for 18 minutes.
Saute the spinach with the remaining onion, garlic, oil, and salt for 7 minutes until wilted.
Spread the injera on a wide plate, arrange the three hot components separately, and serve.
💡 Tip: Cook each component separately; if everything goes into one pot, beyaynetu loses its platter character and turns into a single stew.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve beyaynetu on a large shared platter with pieces of injera, lemony salad, and optional hot pepper.
