Ethiopian Doro Wat

If you've never tried Ethiopian food, you've been missing out. Traditionally, Ethiopians eat with their hands, using injera (sourdough bread) to scoop up each bite. You might find this practice overly primal, but it's actually fun and easier than you think. This recipe for doro wat is composed of shredded chicken infused with spices, red wine, tomato paste and butter, simmered with onions and garlic. It's the perfect dish to prepare in the slow cooker, as any recipe with a bounty of diverse spices can benefit from long cook times to soak up every last flavor.
