Doro Wat is a rich, spicy Ethiopian stew made with chicken drumsticks or thighs, berbere spice blend, niter kibbeh (spiced clarified butter), onions, garlic, and ginger, slow-cooked until thick and flavorful, and traditionally served with hard-boiled eggs. Originating in Ethiopia’s central highlands, it is typically braised over low heat and eaten with injera, the country’s signature sour flatbread, as part of a shared communal meal. Doro Wat is considered Ethiopia’s national dish and is especially prepared for festivals, religious celebrations, and family gatherings like Meskel and Easter.

Common variations include mild versions for children or guests, or firfir-style leftovers mixed into injera.
