Doro Wat is one of the most famous and beloved dishes of Ethiopia. It is a rich, spicy, and incredibly flavorful slow-cooked chicken stew. Its deep red color and complex flavor come from "berbere," a characteristic Ethiopian spice blend, and a large amount of slow-cooked onions. Traditionally served with "injera," a spongy flatbread, this dish is a true celebration of Ethiopian cuisine.
Doro Wat is a cornerstone of Ethiopian cuisine, often served at holidays and special occasions. The slow cooking of the onions until they almost dissolve into a paste is a key technique in many Ethiopian stews ("wats"). The berbere spice blend, which can contain over a dozen different spices, gives the dish its characteristic flavor and heat. The inclusion of hard-boiled eggs is a traditional and iconic part of the dish.
