Step 1
1. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown at the edges, about 8 minutes. Add the minced garlic and spices. Cook until fragrant, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add the lentils, salt, and broth, cover with a lid, and simmer for 25–30 minutes, until the lentils are tender.

3. While the lentils are cooking, preheat the oven to 135 degrees. Place a kitchen towel dampened with water on a baking sheet. Arrange the flatbreads on the towel in a single layer (slight overlap is acceptable), then cover with a second damp towel. Heat in the oven for 10 minutes until the flatbreads are warm and soft.
