Torn pieces of injera tossed and saturated in rich doro wat sauce with tender chicken, creating a hearty, flavor-soaked breakfast dish.

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces day-old injera, torn into strips
  • 2 cups leftover doro wat sauce
  • 200g cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 tbsp niter kibbeh
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, halved
  • 1 tbsp berbere spice blend
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat niter kibbeh in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and fragrant with its embedded spices.
  2. 2 Add doro wat sauce and berbere, stirring until the sauce is heated through and bubbling gently around edges.
  3. 3 Add torn injera pieces to the sauce, tossing constantly to ensure every piece absorbs the rich, spicy sauce.
  4. 4 Add shredded chicken and fold gently into the mixture. Cook for five minutes until everything is heated through.
  5. 5 The injera should be fully saturated but not mushy, maintaining some texture while soaking up all the flavor.
  6. 6 Top with halved hard-boiled eggs and fresh cilantro. Serve hot on a fresh injera or on its own plate.
