Doro Wat
Ethiopia's celebratory chicken stew in a deeply spiced berbere and caramelized onion sauce with hard-boiled eggs.
Why It Works
Cooking down massive quantities of onions (often 2:1 onion to meat ratio) without any oil initially caramelizes their sugars; berbere's fenugreek and bird's eye chile create layered, slow-building heat.
