In this casserole where plenty of onion is slow-roasted and Ethiopia's characteristic spicy berbere seasoning is added, chicken thigh pieces and boiled eggs are combined in a dark red sauce. With its intense spice aroma, it adds a different flavor to special occasion tables.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Sauté the onions

20 min

Sauté the finely chopped onions in a wide pot over low heat without adding any oil for at least twenty minutes, until they soften completely and darken.

2

Add the spices

10 min

Add the butter, berbere spice blend, garlic, and ginger, and sauté for a few minutes until the aroma spreads.

3

Add the tomato paste and chicken

5 min

Stir in the tomato paste and add the chicken thigh pieces, making sure the meat is coated on all sides with the sauce.

4

Cook over low heat

35 min

Add hot water and salt, cover, and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the chicken softens and the sauce thickens. Caution: use less berbere the first time and adjust to taste after tasting.

5

Finish with the eggs

10 min

Add the boiled and peeled eggs to the sauce and cook for a few more minutes so they take on the sauce's color.

Reminder

Important: don't add the berbere before sautéing the onions over low heat for at least twenty minutes, the characteristic depth of doro wat comes from this long sautéing. Note: berbere spice can be quite spicy, add a little the first time and increase to taste. Allergen: contains egg.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you can't find berbere spice mix, you can mix red pepper flakes, ground red pepper, ginger, and a little cinnamon for a similar aroma. Doro wat prepared a day ahead and rested in the fridge gains a deeper flavor the next day.
