Ethiopian Rice With Chicken Recipes

DORO WAT: ETHIOPIAN CHICKEN DISH

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.

ETHIOPIAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken wings and onion in a soup pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). While the wings are cooking, combine the soy sauce, cinnamon, cloves and ginger in a saucepan, and warm over medium heat. When chicken is done, drain water (may be reserved for other uses as a broth), and pour in the soy sauce mixture. Stir to coat all of the wings, then place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the outsides are crispy. Baste with sauce as desired while cooking.

ETHIOPIAN INSPIRED BERBERE CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• If you're using fresh tomatoes, place them in a blender and blend into a chunky sauce, set aside. If you're using chopped canned tomatoes, they're all ready to go.
• To prepare the broccoli, trim the end of the stems and peel away the tough outer layer. Then thinly slice the stems, and cut the florets into small bite sized pieces, set the prepared broccoli aside.
• Preheat a large skillet, 15″ over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add 1 Tablespoon of the butter or avocado oil to the pan along with the cut up chicken thighs. Turn the heat to high and sauté until browned and mostly done, don't worry if there's a little pink in the chicken because it's going to finish cooking later. Remove the chicken pieces from the pan, and set them aside.
• Lower the heat to medium high, and add the remaining 2 Tablespoons of butter or avocado oil to the pan along with the diced onion. Sauté until the onion is browned and beginning to soften, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and berbere spice mix and cook for about 1 minute or until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
• Then add the prepped broccoli, blended tomatoes/canned chopped tomatoes, and the can of coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Then lower the heat to low, add the chicken back into the pan, and simmer for 5-6 minutes or until the broccoli is just tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
• Season to taste with sea salt, and stir in the chopped cilantro.
• Serve immediately with rice or cauliflower rice.
