<p>Doro wot is full of flavor and a beloved dish in my family. I&#8217;m excited to share my authentic recipe with you, which involves using berbere spices and traditionally cutting a whole chicken into 12 pieces. Although the process takes 4-6 hours, it&#8217;s definitely worth it for those who enjoy spicy chicken. You can serve up to 10 people with this dish and store leftovers in the fridge for 5-7 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months. Make sure to use clean utensils every time you scoop the stew to prevent it from spoiling. Additionally, I suggest putting on your favorite tunes, dancing around, and pampering yourself while you cook to make the experience more enjoyable.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Let&#8217;s start with the stars of the dish.</h2>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The 12 pieces.</h3>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>While most recipes online suggest using chicken thighs or drumsticks, the traditional way of preparing the dish involves using a whole chicken sliced into 12 pieces. These pieces represent the 12 apostles of Jesus from the Bible. In my opinion, a dish should not be called &#8220;Doro wot&#8221; unless it contains all twelve pieces in it.</p>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://samracooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/20230617_134112-1024x577.jpg" alt="Authentic Doro wot recipe" class="wp-image-1512"/></figure>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>This step is crucial to allow the right flavors to soak in and shorten the cooking time. Slicing a chicken into 12 pieces might need some practice, but it’s not challenging.</p>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Choosing the right chicken for your Doro wot</h3>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The key to making a truly delicious Doro Wot is choosing the right chicken. Using the right chicken can take your dish from just okay to absolutely amazing. Choosing the right chicken is crucial for getting the desired taste and texture for Doro Wot. Trust me; you don’t want to settle for less!</p>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://samracooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-239-1024x546.jpg" alt="Authentic Doro wot recipe" class="wp-image-1466"/></figure>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Throughout my time living in the United States, I have tried different types of chicken spices while making authentic Doro wot. Unfortunately, I have not found any chicken suitable for Doro wot, except for stewing hens. These retired hens have stopped laying eggs, and their meat is hard and chewy, requiring more time to cook than younger hens. However, they add more flavors to your Doro wot and provide beneficial health effects such as improving gut, joint, and brain health. The minerals in their bones also help nourish our blood and bones. </p>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Using stewing hens is also an eco-friendly option, preventing them from being thrown away. When going grocery shopping, ask for stewing hens, or check out local farms and specialty stores to find them. I promise you won&#8217;t regret giving it a try!</p>



<p></p>



<p>Make sure to marinate the chicken pieces in water, lemon juice and salt for 3 hours to overnight for optimum flavor.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Using the right Onions</strong></h3>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Recipes typically don&#8217;t specify the exact type of onion to use. You can choose any type of onion you have available but choosing the right one can make a significant difference in the flavor of the dish. My grandmother uses shallots in her Doro wot recipe and my mom use sweet onions. From my experimentation, I have found that using a mix of sweet onions and shallots adds an ideal flavor to Doro wot. Sweet onions are the perfect choice for dishes that require the onion flavor to caramelize, such as Doro wot. Meanwhile, shallots are a great addition to Doro wot because they add a crispy texture without overpowering the dish&#8217;s taste with their pungency. In Ethiopia, they refer to shallots as habesha onions.</p>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://samracooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/20230617_140746-1024x577.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1508"/></figure>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Kibbeh or oil to Sautee your onion</strong></h3>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>To get the best flavor for your doro wot, it&#8217;s important to cook and caramelize the onions just right. Personally, I recommend using kibbeh instead of oil to sauté the onions. Kibbeh has a high smoke point and is infused with spices, making it perfect for this dish.</p>



<p>Now, let&#8217;s talk about the difference between sautéing onions in oil versus clarified butter. While oil is a common choice, clarified butter adds a deeper flavor to your dish. Plus, oil tends to burn easily and create a bitter taste, whereas clarified butter gives your onions a sweet and rich flavor.</p>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://samracooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/20230617_140823-1024x577.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1514"/></figure>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Clarified butter also has added benefits, such as providing healthy fats and enhancing the absorption of nutrients in your ingredients. Its creamy texture adds even more richness to your dish. And when you sauté onions in it, they cook evenly and develop a delicious, caramelized flavor that oil just can&#8217;t mimic.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Berbere</strong></h3>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://samracooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/20230617_143108-1024x577.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1515"/></figure>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The quality of your berbere is a one of the key factors in making a tasty Doro wot dish, and I cannot stress this enough. Personally, I prefer making my own berbere by using mild and sweet cayenne pepper pods (capsicum annuum), which is the same as Mareko berbere pods in Ethiopia. The best kind of berbere comes from the Mareko region of Ethiopia. However, other types of peppers are also used since Mareko berbere can be quite expensive. If you&#8217;re using store-bought berbere which tends to be hotter and not mild and sweet, my recipe might be too much for you, so I suggest adding sweet paprika in 2:1 ratio with your berbere. But, if you&#8217;re up for making berbere from scratch, I will soon post the recipe that will last for about a year.</p>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Eggs.</strong></h3>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://samracooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/20230618_081734-1024x577.jpg" alt="Authentic Doro wot recipe" class="wp-image-1516"/></figure>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Hard boiled eggs are another essential part of the Doro wot recipe, providing a distinctive texture and flavor to the dish. I recommend using organic eggs, and you have the option to either add the peeled hard-boiled eggs to the sauce when you are done cooking or serve them separately in a dish to keep your Doro wot fresh for longer.</p>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Spices and herbs </strong></h3>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://samracooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/20230617_113753-1024x577.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1517"/></figure>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Spices and herbs are crucial for the flavor of Doro Wot but be careful not to let them overpower it. My preferred spices to add are Koseret, Besobilla, Timiz, and Korerima, and a little bit of cumin in addition to garlic and a touch of fresh ginger.</p>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Choices of pots for Doro wot</h3>



<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>

<div style="height:40px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>My choice is always clay pot. Clay pot cooking is an ancient method of cooking that has been used for centuries. It is a slow, natural, healthy form cooking that is perfect for those who are health conscious. Did you know that in ancient times, royalty used clay pots for cooking? So, you could say that clay-pot cooking is a royal affair! While cast iron can be used for cooking, you need to be careful that the berbere does not stick or burn at the bottom of the pot, as it can ruin the Doro wot flavor. If you are not comfortable using clay pots, you can use a non-stick pot instead.</p>
