Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 chicken cut up, skin, wash; lemon 1 med., sliced; 6 cups chopped onion; 1 stick butter; 3 teaspoons Berbere; 1 can tomato paste; 1 teaspoon curry; 1/2 teaspoon cardamom; 1 teaspoon ginger; 2 teaspoons garlic powder; 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek; salt to taste; 1 cup water

Servings: persons

1 chicken cut up, skin, wash
lemon 1 med., sliced
6 cups chopped onion
1 stick butter
3 teaspoons Berbere
1 can tomato paste
1 teaspoon curry
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1 teaspoon ginger
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon fenugreek
salt to taste
1 cup water

1
Marinate chicken pieces with lemon sliced 30 minutes or overnight. Cook onions in a little water until they're translucent; drain any remaining liquid. Continue cooking and stirring onions as they brown.
2
When onions are slightly browned, add butter, berbere, tomato paste, and remaining spices. Stir well, add 1/4 cup water, stir. (Don't add too much water at this point because once the chicken has been added, the amount of liquid will increase.) If time allows, let simmer 5 to 10 minutes.
3
Add chicken pieces, simmer for 30 to 40 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning, but take care not to separate meat from bones. Score hard-boiled eggs several times with the tip of a knife. Push the eggs gently down into the stew. Let stew simmer for another 10 to 20 minutes. Serve on injera or with rice.
