Zamné are a local Burkinabé (from Burkina Faso) type of lentil. I would substitute puy (green) lentils in this recipe.

Ingredients:

500g of pre-cooked zamné (or puy) lentils
500g minced meat
3 onions, finely diced
1/2 scotch bonnet chilli, minced
250ml of oil

Method:

If your lentils are dry, soak over night then cook for 30 minutes, until tender but still whole. Strain in a sieve and set aside.

Place a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the oil and use to brown the meat and onions for 5-10 minutes. Add the cooked lentils and the minced chilli, stir well to combine, and continue cooking for 5 minutes more.

Serve immediately.
