🇪🇹 Ethiopia recipe
Doro Wat
Doro Wat is the undisputed queen of Ethiopian cuisine, a deeply complex chicken stew that requires patience and layers of flavor built from slowly caramelized onions, berbere spice, and niter kibbeh. Traditionally reserved for holidays and celebrations, each piece of chicken is scored and marinated in lemon juice before joining the rich, brick-red sauce crowned with hard-boiled eggs.
