Doro wat

What makes it doro wat

  • A mountain of red onion, cooked down without fat first.
  • Berbere and niter kibbeh.
  • Hard-boiled eggs, scored, simmered in the sauce.

Where it comes from

The celebration dish, made for holidays — above all to break the long fast before Easter. The onions alone can take an hour, cooked down to a jam before the berbere and spiced butter go in.
