Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Boil a kettle, then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add your chicken thighs and cook for 3 min on each side or until lightly browned, then transfer to a plate, reserving the pan

Take a knob of butter out of the fridge and set it aside to soften
Peel and finely slice your brown onion[s]
Chop your potato[es] (skins on) into bite-sized pieces

Return the reserved pan to a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the sliced onion and chopped potato and cook for 3-4 min or until the onion has softened
Add a pinch of your berbere seasoning and the softened butter to a bowl and mix it all together, then set aside – this is your berbere-spiced butter

Once the onion has softened, add the remaining berbere seasoning and tomato paste to the pan with your ginger & garlic paste, 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] flour and a small pinch of salt
Give everything a good mix up and cook for 1-2 min or until fragrant

Dissolve your chicken stock mix in 400ml [575ml] [750ml] boiled water
Once fragrant, return the browned chicken to the pan, add the chicken stock and bring to the boil over a high heat, then reboil a kettle
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook, covered, for 15-20 min or until the potato is fork-tender and the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)– this is your Ethiopian-style doro wat

Meanwhile, add your egg[s] to a pot of boiled water with a small pinch of salt and bring to the boil over a high heat (salt prevents the eggs from cracking)
Once boiling, cook for exactly 8 min for perfect, mid-boiled eggs, then fill a bowl of very cold water and add the soft-boiled egg[s] to the bowl
Set aside, then once cooled, peel the cooled soft-boiled egg[s] and cut them in half

When the potato is nearly fork-tender, add your naan[s] to a toaster for 1-2 min or until warmed through
Once done, remove the warmed naan[s] from the toaster and spread with the berbere-spiced butter – this is your berbere-spiced butter naan[s]
Chop your parsley finely, including the stalks

Serve the Ethiopian-style chicken doro wat in bowls and top with a soft-boiled egg half
Garnish with the chopped parsley
Serve the berbere-spiced butter naan[s] to the side
Enjoy!
