How To Make doro w'et
-
1Remove the skin from the chicken and score the meat so that the sauce will penetrate it. Rub the chicken with the lemon juice and let it marinate, covered, for 30 minutes at room temperature.
-
2Sauté the onion and the garlic in the butter until browned. Add the Berbere, paprika, and remaining spices, and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
-
3Add the chicken with its marinade to the pan and toss to coat. Stir in enough of the 2 cups water to form a thick sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes or until the meat starts to fall off the bone.
-
4Using a fork, poke holes all over the eggs, then add them to the stew. Cover again and simmer for an additional 15 minutes.
