Inspired by Ethiopia’s famous doro wat sauce, this dish simmers hard-boiled eggs in a red sauce seasoned with berbere spice. The rich, deep-red sauce infuses the eggs with flavor.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the eggs

12 min

Boil the eggs for 12 minutes, then transfer them to cold water and peel them.

2

Sauté the onion

10 min

Sauté the onion in olive oil for 10 minutes, until softened.

3

Make the sauce

8 min

Add the garlic, tomato paste, and berbere spice blend. Toast for 2 minutes, then add the water and stir.

4

Simmer with the eggs

40 min

Add the peeled eggs to the sauce and simmer over low heat for 40 minutes.

Reminder

Leave the lid slightly ajar while the sauce simmers; otherwise, it can thicken too much and stick to the bottom of the pan. Contains eggs.

Kırk dakika kaynatınca yumurta sarıları resimdeki gibi kalmadı, ortası tamamen sertleşip griye döndü. Bu kadar uzun kaynatma bence gereksiz, çok daha kısa sürede de renk alır.

Berbere baharatı bulamadığım için pul biber, kimyon ve az zencefil karıştırıp kullandım, sonuç gerçekten anlatılan profile yakın çıktı. Yumurtaları 40 dakika yerine 35 dakikada sostan aldım, kesildiğinde içi yine de güzel kırmızıydı.
