Doro wat is a fragrant and spicy Ethiopian chicken stew, typically served only on special occasions and during family get-togethers. It is one of Ethiopia's national meals and is typically eaten with injera.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
- 8 tbsp butter
- Onions, chopped
- ½ cup water
- Tomato paste
- Berbere seasoning
- Ginger
- Garlic
- Black pepper
- Chicken breasts
- Wine
- Cardamom

- Hard boiled eggs, peeled
Procedure[edit | edit source]
- Over low heat, melt the butter in a pan. Add the onion, and cook over medium heat for 5–6 minutes or until translucent.
- Add the water and tomato paste, and simmer while stirring for about 2 minutes.
- Add the berbere, ginger, garlic, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 20–30 minutes, or until mixture thickens to a pasty consistency.
- Add the chicken and a splash of water. Simmer for about 45 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Notes, tips, and variations[edit | edit source]
