Notes

Ethiopia Doro Wat (Chicken Stew) is traditionally made very spicy.  Like I-don’t-know-how-Ethiopians-have-any-taste-buds-left spicy.  Western adaptations are still spicy, but quite tame compared to the real deal.
When cooking Doro Wat, you should take note of the ingredients. It's essential to choose the right spices. In the Ethiopian cooking tradition, the spices are very important. The berbere spice mix, which is similar to ghee, adds a rich flavor and aroma to the dish. The onions are used to give the stew an extra kick. Aside from that, the spiced butter is the key to this spicy stew.
