Ethiopian Doro Wat - Chicken Stew

Ingredients:

1 (3 lb) roasting chicken, cut into pieces, rinsed and patted dry

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 tablespoons butter

2 large onion, sliced

4 garlic clove, minced

1 inch fresh ginger, peeled, finely chopped

1/4 cup berbere

1 1/2 cups chicken stock

2 tablespoons lime juice

4 hard-boiled egg, sliced for garnish

Cooking Instructions:

Heat oil in a pan and brown the chicken. When all pieces are light brown, remove chicken. In the same pan, without removing the oil, add butter, onion, ginger and garlic; cook until golden brown. Add berbere and saute the mixture over low heat until it browns. Add chicken stock and lime juice, simmer 3-4 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan, cover, and simmer slowly for 30 minutes, turning the chicken from time to time. Transfer the stew to a platter, garnish with eggs, and serve with injera or pita bread.
