Method

In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they are soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Stir in the berbere spice blend and tomato paste, cooking for another minute to toast the spices.
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and coat them well with the spice mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour in the chicken broth, cover the pot, and let the chicken simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
If using hard-boiled eggs, gently add them to the pot during the last 15 minutes of cooking to allow them to absorb the flavors.
Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the Doro Wat hot with injera or rice.
Enjoy!
