Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (14 ounce) package extra firm tofu, pressed and cut into serving-size pieces
1 onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons ghee
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 piece fresh gingerroot (cleaned, scraped, and chopped (about a teaspoon)
1/2 teaspoon ground fenugreek
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne (or to taste)
3 tablespoons tomato paste or 3 tablespoons tomato sauce
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1/2 cup dry red wine
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
hard-boiled egg, pierced with a toothpick (1 per person) (optional)

Steps:

  • 1) Cook the onions over medium heat for a few minutes in a dry (no oil) pot or Dutch Oven, large enough to eventually hold all of the ingredients. Stir constantly to prevent them from browning or burning; reduce heat or remove the pot from the heat if necessary.
  • 2) Add the butter to the onions, along with the garlic, ginger, fenugreek, cardamom, nutmeg, cayenne pepper and paprika,and tomato. Stir and simmer for a few minutes. The onions should be soft, tender, and translucent, but not browned.
  • 3) Add the stock and dry red wine. Bring the mixture to a low boil while stirring gently. Cook for a few minutes, then reduce heat. Take a few tablespoons of broth out of the pot and mix it in a small bowl with the cornstarch until lumps are gone. Stir into the pot.
  • 4) Add the tofu pieces, making sure to cover them with the sauce. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • 5) After the tofu has gotten warmed, add salt and pepper to taste. Then gently add the hard-boiled eggs and ladle sauce over them.
  • 6) Serve hot. The only traditional way to serve doro wat is with a spongy flat bread called injera, which can only be properly made with difficult-to-obtain teff flour. Doro wat is also very good with Couscous, Rice, or Middle-Eastern or Indian style flat bread.

I didn't have a lot of time to cook, so I made this vegetarian doro wat in my slow cooker. It turned out great! The flavors were even better after cooking for several hours on low.

I made a few modifications to this recipe to suit my own taste. I added some extra spices, and I used a different type of lentils. It turned out really well, and my family loved it.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The flavors were bland, and the texture was mushy. I followed the instructions exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm a big fan of Ethiopian food, and this vegetarian doro wat did not disappoint. The spices were perfectly balanced, and the stew had a nice kick to it. I served it with injera, and it was the perfect meal.
