Ethiopian Chickpea Wat with Chicken




"Ethiopian Berbere Spices" are one of my absolute favorite seasonings. They're slightly sweet, very aromatic and full of heat! 

I often make my clients "Dora Wat" .. a chicken stew or "Chickpea Wat" .. a vegetarian stew featuring Potatoes, Peas, Carrots, Red Onions, Tomato and of course Chickpeas. 

I decided to go off the reservation tonight for a longtime client and make a "Chickpea/Chicken Wat" by combining the best flavors of both dishes.

The result was a rich, thick stew (Wat) that earned rave reviews. I enjoy cooking ethnic comfort foods just as much as I do "fine dining" dishes. The reaction of these full bodied flavors are very satisfying to me.
