Doro Wat (Ethiopian Spicy Chicken Stew)
Rich, slow-simmered chicken drumsticks and boiled eggs bathed in caramelized red onions, niter kibbeh, and fiery berbere.
The story
Doro Wat is Ethiopia's celebratory centerpiece, traditionally prepared for major feast days like Meskel and Fasika, as well as weddings. Culinary mastery is judged by the patience required to dry-sweat finely pureed red onions for hours without oil until they collapse into a sweet, melting paste. It is served on a communal platter lined with sourdough injera flatbread.
