This reinterpretation of wat - an Ethiopian soup traditionally eaten with flatbread made from teff flour - includes whole grain teff in the stew itself. This recipe can be found on our bags of Whole Grain Teff.
Heat oil in a heavy 3 quart pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, spices and salt and let cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute. Add teff and cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Add vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer until teff is soft, about 30 minutes.
Add tomatoes, zucchini and yellow squash and let cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, 10 – 15 minutes. Add the garbanzo beans and lemon juice and let the garbanzo beans warm through, 3 – 4 minutes. Just before serving, add the cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
