Ethiopia's national dish featuring tender chicken slow-cooked in a rich, aromatic sauce with onions, garlic, tomatoes, and jalapeños, seasoned with berbere spice. This signature dish showcases the bold flavors of Ethiopian cuisine, served over injera.
Doro Wot is the crown jewel of Ethiopian cuisine and holds special significance as Ethiopia's national dish. At Horeb Restaurant, we prepare this beloved dish using authentic recipes and traditional cooking methods passed down through generations.
The dish begins with a base of caramelized onions, cooked low and slow until deeply golden. We then add our house-made berbere spice blend - a complex mixture of chilies, fenugreek, coriander, cardamom, and other aromatic spices that give Ethiopian cuisine its distinctive flavor. Tender chicken pieces are added and simmered until perfectly cooked, absorbing all the rich, spicy flavors of the sauce.
Traditionally served over injera (Ethiopian sourdough flatbread), Doro Wot is meant to be enjoyed communally - tearing pieces of injera and using them to scoop up the flavorful stew. It's a dish that brings people together, perfect for sharing with friends and family.
