My review
Doro Wat: Ethiopian Chicken Dish
Twin Cities
"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."

Ready In
- 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.
- Stir remaining water into berbere paste; add chicken. Simmer until thickened to sauce consistency, about 45 minutes.
- Stir white wine, cardamom, and black pepper into the sauce; add hard-boiled eggs. Cook until sauce is reduced slightly, about 15 minutes more.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- Berbere is very spicy, so if you are sensitive, reduce the amount in the recipe.
- If you are unable to find berbere, I have a recipe that comes close: Berbere (Ethiopian Spice). However, it seems there are many possible variations.
- You can substitute any other type of meat for the chicken breast, if desired.

Very good, but my berbere wasn’t very authentic tasting. If anyone knows where to get an authentic berbere from Ethiopia, I? would be happy to hear of it. Mine tasted way too strong of cardamon.

I loved it! Berbere seasoning can be expensive and hard to find so prepare yourself.
