Ethiopian chili powder (bere bere) Note: Mommy says nothing else will
serve, although chili powder is the closest) ** (M. says Ethiopians
like to see it swimming on top)  This is an Ethiopian recipe for a very
hot (key words here are hot,  toasty, spicy) sort of stew-like stuff. I
am posting it in reference  to recent discussion on injira, the spongey
millet bread upon which  wot is eaten. This recipe comes via my Mom who
obtained it directly  from a foreign student who used to live with us,
who is an awesome  cook, BTW. This is a chicken version, it can be made
with other meats.  Cook onion over low heat, not in any fat, for a long
time, stirring  constantly over very low heat until all the water is
evaporated.  Continue stirring until onions are slightly brown. THEN
add the  butter; cook about 15-20 minutes still over low heat.  Add 1
tbsp hot water from time to time (texture should be kind of  pasty).
Add bere bere. If it looks too dry, add hot water and stir. Cook it
about 30-45 minutes - keep stirring frequently. Keep adding hot water
if necessary.  Be careful not to let it brown, because chili powder
will become  bitter. Add garlic and ginger and simmer 15 more minutes.
Add water  as needed.  Meanwhile, with your other set of free hands,
wash chicken pieces  well, and let stand in salted in lemoned water.
Then squeeze each  piece really hard to get out as much water as
possible. Then, make  little slits in the meat so the sauce will
penetrate.  Cook the meat in the sauce until meat is tender, about 30
minutes.  Stir from time to time. All this has been uncovered, by the
way. Add  spices to taste just before removing from stove. Add 1
hard-boiled  egg per person, which have been slit (the eggs, not the
people), and  cook just long enough to heat through.  Serve with lots
of bread (injera).  Freezes well.  Betty Lise Anderson Ohio State
