Step 1
Warm oil in a skillet over medium heat, add diced onion, cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in cooked lentils, berbere spice, and cilantro. Cook 2 minutes until fragrant. Squeeze lemon over and remove from heat.
Step 3
Lay one phyllo sheet on a board, brush lightly with olive oil, then cut into 4 squares (work quickly—phyllo dries fast).
Step 4
Place 1 tbsp lentil mixture in the center of each square, fold two opposite corners over to form a triangle, then fold again.
Step 5
Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and filling until you have 8 triangles. Arrange on a sheet pan, brush tops lightly with oil.
Step 6
Bake at 400°F until edges are golden and crispy, about 8 minutes. Serve hot.
