Ingredients
- 500 g Button mushrooms
- 1 large, finely chopped Onion
- 4 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Berbere spice
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 500 ml Vegetable broth
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice

Instructions
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and cut them into quarters.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the berbere spice and tomato paste to the pot, stirring well to coat the onion mixture. Cook for 2 minutes to bloom the spices.
Add the quartered mushrooms, ensuring they are well coated with the spice mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth, bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
Allow the stew to simmer for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and the flavors are well combined.
Season the stew with salt and black pepper to taste.
Before serving, stir in the lemon juice to add brightness to the dish.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with injera or your preferred grain.
