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.

Steps:
- Combine chicken and lemon juice in a bowl and marinate until flavors meld, at least 15 minutes.
- Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel.
- Melt butter over medium heat in a pot. Add onion, ginger, and garlic to the hot butter and cook until onion is soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes. Keep warm.
- While rice cooks, stir paprika and berbere seasoning into the onion mixture, adjusting to taste. Add chicken to the pot and brown, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Pour in tomatoes and stir to combine. Pour in enough chicken broth to thin mixture out to stew consistency. Reduce heat and let simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 20 to 30 minutes, adding hard-boiled eggs when stew has about 10 minutes of cooking time left.
- Pierce eggs using a fork to allow sauce to seep in. Continue to simmer 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve over cooked basmati rice.

DORO WAT (ETHIOPIAN-STYLE SPICY CHICKEN)
Doro wat is a popular chicken dish in Ethiopia, and for Ethiopian Jews like Meskerem Gebreyohannes, it is also a fine centerpiece for a holiday like Hanukkah. Mrs. Gebreyohannes makes her doro wat with a Berbere spice mix imported from Ethiopia, but for this recipe, it is not needed, as the spices are listed individually. Doro wat is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. You can lower the heat by ratcheting up the sweet paprika, rather than the cayenne.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees and rub the chicken with the lemon juice and vinegar.
- Put the chicken in a rimmed baking sheet and bake, discarding the juices after 20 minutes, then draining again after 10 more minutes. Remove meat from oven and set aside.
- As the chicken cooks, put the onions, ginger and garlic in a food processor with a steel blade and finely chop until almost ground, leaving a bit of texture.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion mixture and simmer, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes or until the onions have turned golden. Then stir in 1 tablespoon of the chile powder, the sweet paprika, ginger, coriander, cardamom, thyme, fenugreek, salt and pepper.
- Cook for a few minutes, taste the sauce, and if you prefer more bite, add more chile. Add the chicken and simmer, covered, for about 15 more minutes, adding as much as a cup of water to reach the consistency of a thick sauce. Add more salt and pepper, if desired.
- Serve with injera, pita, naan or rice and, if you wish, hard-boiled eggs.

DORO WAT (ETHIOPIAN SPICY BRAISED CHICKEN)

ETHIOPIAN CHICKEN DORO WAT (STEW)
A traditional dish from Ethiopia. There are the usual variations on this theme, normal with any traditional food, but the Berbere spice mix is non-negotiable! Apparently Ethiopian women are only considered ready for marriage when they can make a good Berbere! Make this during a chilly winter weekend! Don't faint at the spice ingredients: it is indeed hot and red, but whatever you don't use for this stew will keep for 6 months in the fridge, and the stew won't make you go up in flames! This is served with the wellknown Injera bread -- a large flat bread which is often used as an edible "plate" as well. Ethiopians would normally tear off a piece of Injera, fold it slightly, and scoop the stew from the bowl with it. This is hard to do unless you're Ethiopian, so rather serve some flat bread separately, and eat with knife and fork! It's a lovely robust stew, and also economical. Prep and cooking time does NOT include time for making the spice mixture and boiling the eggs, which you might want to do beforehand anyway.

Steps:
- THE BERBERE SPICE MIXTURE:
- Heat a large, heavy pan or saucepan.
- Add all the spices up to and including the allspice. Roast over a fairly low heat, stirring, to prevent burning.
- After a couple of minutes add the rest of the spice ingredients, mix, and roast over very low heat for about 10 minutes.
- This makes about 1 cup. When cool, store in a glass jar with a lid.
- The DORO WAT:.
- Make a few cuts in each chicken piece, to allow the sauce to penetrate the chicken flesh.
- In a large pot melt the butter and fry the chopped onions and garlic over medium heat, about 10 minutes. Add the 3 tablespoons Berbere spice mixture, stir through, and then add the tomato puree, sugar and salt.
- Simmer this over low heat for about 10 minutes. Add the chicken piece by piece, and stir well so each piece is covered with the sauce.
- Add enough water to get a sauce consistency as for thick soup. Simmer for 30 minutes, but stir now and then.
- Add the peeled, hard-boiled eggs (whole). Cover the pot, and let cook over low heat until chicken is tender. The oil tends to rise to the top when the dish is ready.
- Traditionally the dish will be cooled down somewhat before serving.
- * The stew can be made a day or two ahead. Do taste the sauce: it should not be acidic from the tomato puree, in which case more sugar can be added (canned purees differ in sweetness and some become quite acidic during cooking). Also, adjust the salt to taste.

Steps:

Steps:
- 1) Cook the onions over medium heat for a few minutes in a dry (no oil) pot or Dutch Oven, large enough to eventually hold all of the ingredients. Stir constantly to prevent them from browning or burning; reduce heat or remove the pot from the heat if necessary.
- 2) Add the butter to the onions, along with the garlic, ginger, fenugreek, cardamom, nutmeg, cayenne pepper and paprika,and tomato. Stir and simmer for a few minutes. The onions should be soft, tender, and translucent, but not browned.
- 3) Add the stock and dry red wine. Bring the mixture to a low boil while stirring gently. Cook for a few minutes, then reduce heat. Take a few tablespoons of broth out of the pot and mix it in a small bowl with the cornstarch until lumps are gone. Stir into the pot.
- 4) Add the tofu pieces, making sure to cover them with the sauce. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
- 5) After the tofu has gotten warmed, add salt and pepper to taste. Then gently add the hard-boiled eggs and ladle sauce over them.
- 6) Serve hot. The only traditional way to serve doro wat is with a spongy flat bread called injera, which can only be properly made with difficult-to-obtain teff flour. Doro wat is also very good with Couscous, Rice, or Middle-Eastern or Indian style flat bread.

DORO WAT (STEWED CHICKEN LEGS WITH BERBERE AND EGGS)
This stew is a testament to the benefit of having berbere in your cupboard-It takes a simple braised chicken that you can make any night of the week from basic to really special. Berbere is the spice mix of Ethiopia and Eritrea. It's centered on dried chiles and spices like fenugreek and coriander seeds. It's at once spicy and a tiny bit sweet and full of layers. Berbere differs from region to region, family to family, even neighbor to neighbor. Serve this dish with cooked rice or flatbread.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the Berbere and salt and cook, stirring, until very aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring until they've reduced down and the mixture is almost dry, about 10 minutes. Add the water, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer. Season the chicken pieces all over with salt and then nestle them into the pot. Cover and cook, uncovering the pot every so often to stir, until the chicken is very tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Add the eggs and cook, stirring every so often, until the eggs are heated through and nicely coated with the sauce, about 10 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken legs and eggs to a serving dish. Increase the heat to high, return the sauce to a boil, and cook until slightly reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and eggs. Serve immediately. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a few days and rewarmed in a heavy pot set over low heat (stir while you heat).
- Combine all the spices in a small skillet. Toast over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool completely. This spice blend will keep, tightly sealed, in your pantry for several months. For longer storage, keep in the freezer.

BITHIA'S DORO WAT
With roots in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Bithia Fikru Anderson grew up using handkerchief-soft injera to mop up doro wot, a rich, saucy bone-in chicken stew redolent of warm spices, ginger, and garlic. "My aunties knew how to make it just right," Bithia says. "It was a staple, not just for special occasions and holidays but also on down-and-out days, always served with a side of ayib, our homemade Ethiopian cheese."

Steps:
- Pierce chicken thighs and drumsticks in a few spots with a knife; rub with ginger and garlic to coat.
- Heat 2 tablespoons niter kibbeh in a deep, 12-inch skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Arrange chicken pieces in a single layer and sear until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons niter kibbeh to the skillet. Add onion; stir-fry over medium-high heat until softened and light brown around the edges, 5 to 8 minutes. Pour in tomato sauce and sprinkle in berbere, salt, paprika, cayenne, cardamom, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until a thin layer of oil separates from the sauce, forming a spice-colored film on its surface, about 20 minutes.
- Return chicken and any pooled juices to the skillet; coat with sauce. Cook, covered and turning pieces occasionally, until the thickest parts are no longer pink when pierced and meat begins to fall off the bone, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with injera.
