Doro Wat (Ethiopian Spiced Chicken Stew)

Doro wat is Ethiopia's national dish — a deep red, intensely spiced chicken stew built on a foundation of onions cooked down slowly until they melt into a rich paste. Fiery berbere and aromatic niter kibbeh, a spiced clarified butter, give it heat and depth, while whole hard-boiled eggs simmer in the sauce to soak up flavour. Slow-cooked and celebratory, it's traditionally scooped up with injera, the tangy teff flatbread, in a shared communal meal.

Misir Wot (Ethiopian Red Lentil Stew)

Misir wot is built on three things: onions cooked down until they disappear, berbere bloomed in spiced butter, and red lentils that turn creamy without losing structure. It's the dish that appears on every Ethiopian vegetarian platter, scooped up with injera. The flavor is hot, earthy, and faintly bitter from the berbere spice blend. Better the next day. Much better.
