Recipe of Ethiopian Doro Wat
Vida Recetas Editorial
The Ethiopian stew Doro Wat is an iconic and comforting dish that conquers palates with its deep flavor and characteristic reddish hue. Originating from Ethiopia, this chicken stew is the heart of the country's cuisine and is traditionally prepared for celebrations and family gatherings. Its secret lies in the berbere spice blend, which provides a spicy and aromatic heat, and niter kibbeh, a clarified butter infused with spices that gives it unmatched richness. This stew is ideal for those looking to explore exotic and authentic flavors, and it is perfect to serve with injera, the spongy flatbread used to scoop up every bite. Although the traditional recipe includes chicken, there are vegetarian variations with lentils or chickpeas. Its preparation, though time-consuming and requiring patience, is rewarding and fills the kitchen with intoxicating aromas. If you like cooking with character and want to surprise your guests, Doro Wat is an excellent choice.
