Etheopian Red Chicken Doro Weutt Recipe

	Merlin / All my dishes 2 years, 2 months ago Who needs to go to Africa for Blood Diamonds, when you can get Ethiopian Red Chicken? It is an incredible combination of tastes that we "Gringos" might never experience. I don't remember how I learned to make it. In a past life perhaps. Prep:5m Cook:1m Servings:4	Merlin

I have never heard of serving a meat dish with cottage cheese. Now I am going to have to look up how to make Naan bread. Since I love trying new things, this will be on my list. So what does Naan bread taste like? :D

Doesn't matter to me which of your lives came up with this one, but I'm quite glad you posted it! LOL...Thanks, Merlin :)

In Ethiopia they serve this, and any other savory dishes, with Injera which is a spongy bread made from Teff flour. Teff is the smallest grain on earth, and the bread made from it is soft and wraps around the food. I have been meaning to post recipe for that, will do so shortly...great post, this is one of my all time favorites

Merlin,
This is amazing. Many years ago, there was an Ethiopian restaurant here. They seasoned everything with "Ethiopian Red Spice." I know there was paprika in this, but I don't know what else was mixed in it. Do you? The food was divine. And I bet this dish is divine, too. I am going to make this within the next couple of days. I'll get back to you on it.
