Ethiopian Potluck
Some friends and I got together Saturday night and had and Ethopian potluck. The host make injera, and the other dishes were Doro Wat (a chicken stew with hardboiled eggs which were strangely good), a tilapia stew (which the bringee said was East African), Miser Wat (a red lentil wat, which I brought), a great dessert of honey ice cream & bananas & an orange-juice honey sauce, and honey-wine. Oh, and we had an appetizer of chickpea fritters in a really great berbere sauce. I could have kicked myself for not taking my camera, but I’ll attach a link to the great Miser Wat recipe that I used. I really enjoyed the spices and all of the dishes in general. I especially appreciate the efforts of the friend who tried to perfect injera — not an easy undertaking.

And I just used an epicurious recipe for the berbere spice mix. For the chiles I used New Mexico dried chiles that I baked until crisp-dry — about 10 minutes at 350.
