I love Ethiopian food but had difficulty finding authentic recipes online. I ultimately found 3 or 4 recipes and altered them all to incorporate them together in an attempt to capture the flavors. Typically served with injera and some side vegetable dish. I prefer Atkilt, a cabbage and potato dish, but there are many delicious options.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Heat 1/2 cup butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.

Cook and stir onion until translucent, 5 to 6 minutes.

Add 1/2 cup water and tomato paste; stir until hot, about 2 minutes.

Stir in remaining butter, berbere, garlic, and ginger.

Adjust heat to low and cook until mixture thickens to paste consistency, 20 to 30 minutes.

Stir remaining water into berbere paste; add chicken.

Simmer until thickened to sauce consistency, about 45 minutes.

Stir white wine, cardamom, and black pepper into the sauce; add hard-boiled eggs.

Cook until sauce is reduced slightly, about 15 minutes more.
