Delicious. Made it as described with the exception of using chicken thighs instead of chicken breast making my own berbere. Also found a recipe for the cabbage potato dish mentioned (All Recipes Ethiopian Cabbage Dish) and it made a great side dish for the Doro Wat. My husband the picky eater had two big helpings of everything.
I absolutely love Ethiopian food - so much so I was nervous about making it because I didn't want to muck it up. This recipe did not disappoint! My only change was using fresh chopped tomatoes rather than the paste. I had to let it simmer a bit longer before and after adding the chicken to get the consistency I wanted but it was so worth it. They key here is patience let things just barely simmer slowly and taste as you go. I made it with the recommended cabbage/potato dish (also posted by the user Twin Cities) and enjoyed with injera. Everyone went back for seconds and mopped up the sauce with the bread. Thanks for posting - I'm adding this to my "show-off" recipe box for sure! Of note: I've seen this served with a lightly dressed green salad or collard greens if you want to simplify the side dish.
Very delicious very spicy and very hot! I made this in the crock pot. I only used 2/3 cup of the berbere spice because that's all I had. I subbed 1 cup chicken broth for the water and only used 1 stick of butter. That seems to be enough. I've never had Ethiopian food except for what I've made off of All Recipes. I got the berbere spice off of Amazon. Thank You! Will definitely make again!
This dish is delicious my family loved it. I dont eat spicy dishes my husband and kids loved it the pot was empty. Its very spicy I tried a small piece but it was too spicy for me. They ate it clean to the pot.
Flavorful and delicious. This easy to make recipe gives you a very fragrant meal to enjoy with injera bread. Thank you for the recipe.
Just quick note: onions are not on ingredient list but is first item in recipe! ALSO!!! Probably a mistaken amount of berbere. Maybe 2/3 tablespoon? Came out great with 2 teaspoons (quite spicy). I eat Ethiopian food whenever I can. Nice to have a good recipe for home prep.
This dish is AMAZING! I will definitely make this again. Doro wat is incredibly fragrant and delicious. I didn't use any eggs, but it still turned out amazingly. I barely have words to describe how good this tastes. Thank you, Twin Cities for this recipe!
Holy cow. I love spicy food and couldn t eat this even after adding a pint of sour cream and adding noodles!!! Flavor is awesome though. I too am guessing that the amount of Berbere is WAY off or that there s a lot of difference between brands. I suggest you make the recipe and add this spice last. Start with a tablespoon and move up until you get it the way you like. I used 2/3 cup and that was definitely too much. I m glad I did a trial run before my party. I m still going to make this but using my suggestion to add the Berbere last little by little.
One of the best flavors I ve ever tasted.
