Doro Wat Stewed Chicken Legs With Berbere And Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees and rub the chicken with the lemon juice and vinegar.
• Put the chicken in a rimmed baking sheet and bake, discarding the juices after 20 minutes, then draining again after 10 more minutes. Remove meat from oven and set aside.
• As the chicken cooks, put the onions, ginger and garlic in a food processor with a steel blade and finely chop until almost ground, leaving a bit of texture.
• Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion mixture and simmer, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes or until the onions have turned golden. Then stir in 1 tablespoon of the chile powder, the sweet paprika, ginger, coriander, cardamom, thyme, fenugreek, salt and pepper.
• Cook for a few minutes, taste the sauce, and if you prefer more bite, add more chile. Add the chicken and simmer, covered, for about 15 more minutes, adding as much as a cup of water to reach the consistency of a thick sauce. Add more salt and pepper, if desired.
• Serve with injera, pita, naan or rice and, if you wish, hard-boiled eggs.

Steps:

• Combine chicken and lemon juice in a bowl and marinate until flavors meld, at least 15 minutes.
• Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel.
• Melt butter over medium heat in a pot. Add onion, ginger, and garlic to the hot butter and cook until onion is soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes. Keep warm.
• While rice cooks, stir paprika and berbere seasoning into the onion mixture, adjusting to taste. Add chicken to the pot and brown, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Pour in tomatoes and stir to combine. Pour in enough chicken broth to thin mixture out to stew consistency. Reduce heat and let simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 20 to 30 minutes, adding hard-boiled eggs when stew has about 10 minutes of cooking time left.
• Pierce eggs using a fork to allow sauce to seep in. Continue to simmer 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve over cooked basmati rice.

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 cup butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook and stir onion until translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water and tomato paste; stir until hot, about 2 minutes. Stir in remaining butter, berbere, garlic, and ginger. Adjust heat to low and cook until mixture thickens to paste consistency, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Stir remaining water into berbere paste; add chicken. Simmer until thickened to sauce consistency, about 45 minutes.
• Stir white wine, cardamom, and black pepper into the sauce; add hard-boiled eggs. Cook until sauce is reduced slightly, about 15 minutes more.
