Doro Wat with Berbere and Slow-Caramelised Onion

Thu, 21 Sep 2023 12:20:00 +0000

Doro wat is Ethiopia’s great festival stew, and the version most people meet outside Ethiopia has usually skipped its two slowest, most important steps: an onion base cooked down for the better part of an hour until it turns dark and jammy, and a proper berbere bloomed in niter kibbeh rather than stirred in raw. Get those two things right and everything else — the chicken, the scored boiled eggs, the final squeeze of lemon — falls into place around them. This is a stew built almost entirely on patience with the onions, and it rewards every minute of it.
