Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, berbere spice mix, and salt. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add the Chicken

    Once the onions are golden, add the marinated chicken pieces, including all the marinade. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 4

    Incorporate Tomato Paste

    Stir in the tomato paste and mix well. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  4. 5

    Simmer

    Pour in the chicken broth or water, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for about 30-40 minutes, until the chicken is tender and the sauce thickens.

  5. 6

    Add Hard-Boiled Eggs

    Gently add the peeled hard-boiled eggs into the pot during the last 10 minutes of cooking, allowing them to absorb some of the flavors.
