Doro wat is the celebration dish of Ethiopian cooking: chicken simmered slowly in deeply caramelised onions, niter kibbeh and rich berbere spice, finished with a boiled egg and served on injera.
Doro wat starts with onions cooked down patiently until they melt into the pan, long before any liquid is added. Berbere – a blend built on chilli, fenugreek, ginger and warm spices – goes in next, followed by spiced butter and chicken that simmers until it falls off the bone. A boiled egg is added towards the end so it takes on the colour and heat of the sauce.
In Ethiopia and Eritrea, doro wat is what comes out for holidays, weddings and important guests, and that is exactly the spirit we cook it in at Baro Ethiopian-Eritrean Cuisine in Winnipeg. It arrives on injera, with more injera on the side for scooping. If you only try one stew on your first visit, make it this one.
