Doro Wat: Ethiopian Chicken Dish

Doro Wat: Ethiopian Chicken Dish

I love Ethiopian food but had difficulty finding authentic recipes online. I ultimately found 3 or 4 recipes and altered them all to incorporate them together in an attempt to capture the flavors. Typically served with injera and some side vegetable dish. I prefer Atkilt, a cabbage and potato dish, but there are many delicious options.

Servings:

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, divided
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 ½ cups water, divided
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • ¾ cup berbere seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1/3 cup sweet white wine
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs

Directions

Step 1
Heat 1/2 cup butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook and stir onion until translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water and tomato paste; stir until hot, about 2 minutes. Stir in remaining butter, berbere, garlic, and ginger. Adjust heat to low and cook until mixture thickens to paste consistency, 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 2
Stir remaining water into berbere paste; add chicken. Simmer until thickened to sauce consistency, about 45 minutes.

Step 3
Stir white wine, cardamom, and black pepper into the sauce; add hard-boiled eggs. Cook until sauce is reduced slightly, about 15 minutes more.

Cook’s Notes:

Berbere is very spicy, so if you are sensitive, reduce the amount in the recipe.
