    Instructions

    For the injera:

    • One day before, dissolve the yeast in a little water, add a little flour and let it rest in a warm place (e.g. in the oven).
    • Put the flour and cornmeal in a large bowl, add the dissolved yeast and about 1.5 liters of lukewarm water.
    • Stir until the dough is nice and smooth. Then cover and let rise again in a warm place for 4 hours.
    • Now add the salt and about 1 liter of warm (not too hot) water and stir the dough with a whisk.
    • As soon as the dough rises nicely, you can pour 1 ladle of it into a hot coated pan (without fat) and spread it quickly by moving the pan.
    • When only about ¼ of the batter is slightly runny in the pan, cover with a lid and finish baking.
    • The flatbread is ready when it separates from the edge and has formed many small bubbles. It can be carefully placed by hand out of the pan on a large cloth to allow it to evaporate.
    • The bread serves as a "base" for the sauces on the plate. The dish is typically consumed with the fingers.

    Doro Wot:

    • Mix the spice mixture of paprika powder, cinnamon, salt, pepper, cumin and wheat flour.
    • Rinse the meat under cold water, pat dry with kitchen paper, season with salt and "bread" in the spice mixture.
    • Peel and finely chop ginger, garlic and onions. Clean the carrots and cut into small pieces.
    • Now preheat the oven to 180 ° C (convection), heat the oil in a roasting pan and fry the meat well. Then remove and set aside.
    • Briefly fry the ginger, garlic, onion and carrot pieces in the roast. Then pour in the broth, add tomatoes, tomato paste and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Season with Berbere to the desired degree of spiciness.
    • Then place the chicken drumsticks in the stock, cover and cook in the preheated oven on the lowest rack for approx. 45 minutes.
    • Then remove the lid and cook for another 15 minutes. The legs can be served whole or, for a lighter meal, the meat can be removed with a fork.
    • In the meantime, bring the water to a boil in a saucepan, carefully add the eggs and cook for 7 minutes.
    • Then rinse the eggs with cold water, peel them, score slightly on the sides and add them to the stew.

    For the Shiro:

    • In a saucepan, fry the chopped onions, ginger and garlic together with the oil.
    • Add the berry spice and salt and then simmer for 5 minutes, occasionally adding water to prevent burning.
    • Add the remaining water and stir in the chickpea flour in portions while stirring continuously.
    • Let the mixture simmer until it thickens but still flows from the spoon; this takes about 20 minutes on low heat. If desired, whole chickpeas can be stirred in.

    For the spinach:

    • Chop the onion and garlic and fry in the pan until translucent. Add the fresh spinach and in the meantime mix the egg with the spices.
    • Finally pour the egg over the spinach and fry everything for about 3 minutes.
