Categories     Chicken     Low/No Sugar     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients
Chicken legs and thighs, skinless -- 2 pounds
Lemon, juice only -- 1
Salt -- 2 teaspoons
Onions, chopped -- 2
Garlic, crushed -- 3 cloves
Gingerroot, peeled and chopped -- 1 tablespoon
Oil, butter or niter kibbeh -- 1/4 cup
Paprika -- 2 tablespoons
Berberé paste -- 1/4 to 1/2 cup
Water or stock -- 3/4 cup
Red wine -- 1/4 cup
Cayenne pepper -- from 1 teaspoon
Salt and pepper -- to taste

Steps:

  • Method 1.Mix together the chicken pieces, lemon juice and salt and in a large, non-reactive bowl and set aside to marinate for about 30 minutes. 2.While the chicken is marinating, puree the onions, garlic and ginger in a food processor or blender. Add a little water if necessary. 3. Heat the oil, butter or niter kibbeh in a large pot over medium flame. Add the paprika and stir in to color the oil and cook the spice through, about 1 minute. Do not burn. Stir in the berberé paste and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. 4. Add the onion-garlic-ginger puree and sauté until most of the moisture evaporates and the onion cooks down and loses its raw aroma, about 5 to 10 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to burn. 5. Pour in the water or stock and wine and stir in the chicken pieces, cayenne to taste, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Add water as necessary to maintain a sauce-like consistency. 6. Continue to cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and very tender. 7. Adjust seasoning and serve hot with injera bread or rice.
