Doro Wat - Ethiopian Braised Chicken

Doro Wat - Ethiopian Braised Chicken

The National dish of Ethiopia starts with a great Berbere spice blend. The Spice House Berbere is fragrant and made from fresh whole spices that are ground for maximum flavor. 

A good batch of Doro Wat begins with a long cooked sauce base of pureed onions, ginger and garlic. The base becomes caramelized, aromatic and thick. Delicious!

Yield: Serves 4-6
