Positive Review

I am getting excited emails from a reader who is trying my doro wat (Ethiopian chicken stew) recipe. He didn’t bother making injera or rotis, and he was not able to get fenugreek, but you can always cheat and eat it over rice, so that’s what he’s doing.

Rather than bloviate about how great I am, I will wait for him to post a review. So far it sounds favorable.

I think I had to go to Penzey’s to get fenugreek, and the seeds are so hard, I used a coffee grinder to grind them. I have one grinder I only use for spices. Fenugreek is pretty neat, but oddly, it’s not essential.

He’s using chicken thighs with the bones still in them, and I think that’s a good choice.
