Zigni

Wed, 12 Jun 2002 23:42:45 -0400

A traditional Ethiopian/Eritrean dish. Extremely hot, so don't try it if you're not used to such food. If you're a chilli or curry freak, though, you'll love it! -- posted by André Grisell

Hot and Spicy Ethiopian Chicken

Mon, 14 Oct 2002 22:15:10 -0400

This is a stew like recipe, fit to feed a crowd. I've never tried it, but it looked so interesting I couldn't resist sharing. You could use Zaar to scale this recipe down, and I'm told other meats work in this dish as well as chicken. -- posted by Sackville

Alicha (Ethiopian Stew)

Mon, 06 Jan 2003 20:25:56 -0500

One of my distant relatives in the middle of Outback Australia married an Ethiopian woman. Good choice - the woman can cook, and well enough to be featured on a food show on national TV. -- posted by Missy Wombat

Eritrean / Ethiopian Beef Stew -- Tsebhi Sga or Key Wet

Wed, 15 Dec 2004 20:00:32 -0500

I grew up in Asmara, Eritrea eating and making this dish regulary. This dish is one of the most popular dishes in the Eritrean and Ethiopian community. -- posted by Mahteme

Ethiopian-style Lentils With Yams (or Sweet Potatoes)

Sun, 24 Apr 2005 21:21:33 -0400

This was adapted from a recipe on vegweb (http://vegweb.com/recipes/beans/3088.shtml), to incorporate more Ethiopian spices and use up a sweet potato I had on hand. It doesn't quite achieve the heights of my favorite Ethiopian restaurant, but it's quick, hearty and pretty tasty. Braver souls can substitute cayenne for some of the paprika -- posted by catwolf

Tue, 10 Jan 2006 16:31:36 -0500

Adapted from Sara's Secrets, this is an Ethiopian dish, that will tantalize your taste buds! I leave out the Scotch bonnet pepper, and use a slice of jalapeno. -- posted by Sharon123

Ethiopian (a 3 part recipe) When making this use the Spiced Butter (Niter Kebber) Recipe #173373 and for the Spice Paste (berbere) use Recipe #173372 -- posted by Charlotte J

Ethiopian Cholent

Mon, 31 Jul 2006 22:03:18 -0400

A very spicy lentil stew. All of the ingredients (except the berebere mix) are easily varied- that is, I suspect that substituting chicken for tofu, or using fresh instead of stewed tomatoes, would probably not make a huge difference for good or ill. -- posted by lewyn

Wed, 30 Aug 2006 20:19:52 -0400

Vegetable dishes like this are served on one huge sourdough pancake, called an injeera. The veggies are dolloped on the huge injeera and a breadbasket of smaller injeeras are at hand to be torn into bits so that the veggies can be picked up with it. Can be served hot or cold -- posted by PinkCherryBlossom

Amhari Mesir Wat

This recipe is common to the Ethiopian Jews (Phalashi). My understanding is that these are NOT unique to them alone. prep time includes lentil soaking -- posted by PinkCherryBlossom

Ethiopian Doro Wat (Chicken Stew)

Tue, 13 Feb 2007 15:36:05 -0500

From Nirmala Narine. A little different than the other doro wat's posted. This stew is spicy, so please keep that in mind if you try it. -- posted by Brenda.

Ethiopian Chicken and Onion Stew

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 22:30:32 -0500

This is a spicy chicken stew with a red onion and butter sauce thats garnished with hard cooked eggs. Original recipes uses 2 cups butter but this recipe is reduced to 1 cup, and it still results in a very creamy, soft, complex sauce. While berbere, the traditional Ethiopian spice mixture is used in this dish, in this recipe it is simulated with a variety of spices. -- posted by Olha

African Chicken in Spicy Red Sauce

Tue, 22 May 2007 23:01:38 -0400

This recipe is from the October 2006 issue of Cooking Light. It's very tasty! The original recipe calls for using breast halves, drumsticks and thighs. I just used skinned, boneless breasts. Also, used olive oil instead of cooking spray. This is their description - " This flavourful Ethipian-inspired chicken stew uses Berbere, an Ethiopian spice blend. Store extra spice mix covered in a cool, dark place for up to two weeks. Use leftovers on Salmon, flank steak, or chicken for fiery flavour. Serve with basmati rice. **prep time includes marinating time *Additional tip*- MaidinAfrica suggested swirling a bit of plain yogurt on top just before serving so we tried that - it's really good and the contrast of colours swirled together makes for a very pretty presentation! -- posted by Beautiful BC

Chicken Berbere

Thu, 19 Jul 2007 20:51:24 -0400

Once, when I was about to make the Ethiopian national dish Zigni, I couldn't find any beef. I used frozen chicken breasts instead, and slightly modified the recipe. I must say that I was stunned at the result! Try to find something better than cooking oil. I used canned duck fat. Don't worry too much about the amount of fat. The other ingredients are virtually fat-free. Recipes for berbere pepper can be found on Recipezaar. -- posted by André Grisell

Shro Wat

Tue, 02 Oct 2007 15:39:36 -0400

I found this recipe on the internet while looking for how to use the plantain I'd bought. It's based on an Ethiopian dish and I subsequently modified it (didn't like the plantain and added more tomato taste). It has a lovely creamy texture and is perfect on a winter evening served with millet or couscous. -- posted by Chef #595847

Tofu Dorowat

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 02:32:23 -0500

A variation on Ethiopian Dorowat made with tofu instead of chicken. For a complete Ethiopian feast, make this dish with (other recipes from my book): - Lentils of Doom - Cabbage of Ostracism - Beef Stew in Berbere Sauce Making these four dishes together, you can: - Pick up one lg white onion and chop it finely. Split it four ways between the dishes. - Pick up one 28-oz can of crushed tomatoes and split it between the Dorowat and Beef Stew Start the beef early, then the dorowat. Then, do the lentils (assuming pre-cooked potatoes) and cabbage. Pick up some Enjera (that amazing yummy bread). Live in Calgary? Pick it up fresh at Amy's Confectionary on 7th between 11AM and 5PM. YUMM!!! -- posted by Rhonda Scheurer
