Instant Pot Doro Wat
This Instant Pot Doro Wat is a very special dish to my family!
When we were in Ethiopia meeting our children for the first time, one of the things we ate all the time was Doro Wat. It is a traditional dish that is made with lots of onions, chicken and hard boiled eggs. Doro Wat is absolutely delicious and exotic!
The trick to the best Doro Wat is the spice they use. The spice for Doro Wat is called Berebere. If you do not have Berbere spice, you can do your own blend of Berbere spices. However, Doro Wat is do flavorful and makes great leftovers, you are going to want to get some berbere! We just ordered another canister because, as you can see, the boys LOVE this dish! I asked Micah if he remembers eating it and he didn’t really answer… I think he was in food heaven!
The Instant Pot is great for times like these when it is hard to juggle everything! Life may seem easy and smooth sailing for me but believe me, we still have very difficult times. One of the reasons I really wanted to write Keto Instant Pot Recipes ebook is because I know that we all have trials and tribulations throughout our life that can be extremely difficult to deal with and those are the times we are often thrown off course! When I wrote Keto Instant Pot, I was juggling more than ever. With Craig’s illness, I had to take on more jobs. That is why the instant pot became my best friend!

This video is of our first visit to meet the boys. It was a bittersweet meeting because we had to leave them in Ethiopia after falling in love with them. I am thankful we didn’t know it was going to take 6 months of waiting to be able to bring them into the U.S… the wait would have killed me. We took one week at a time, hoping that this was the day we were going to fly to bring them home. Finally on the day before Thanksgiving, we brought them into our home and the journey began!

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
“THANK YOU MARIA EMMERICH!!!!
Back in Sept 2018 I saw my Gyn & she said “If you don’t lose weight, you’re Cadidiasis (Candida) will only get worse & you will get Cancer!”
I left her office without any help on how to do that, I just sat in my car and cried…THEN, when I got home I cried a little more with hubby, I told hubby I’ll be on the computer looking for a “cure”, I was on the computer all night!
The next day, I laid the “plan” on the table & explained it to my hubby. I remember telling him that I was going to do this with or without him but I hoped he would do it with me. Hubby didn’t agree to leave processed junk foods until after he saw me lose almost 30 lbs in just 3 months, then he got on my diet with me & as of today, or rather as of this b4/after picture which was taken in March 2020.
Hubby: 6’, SW 306, CW 210 (-96 lbs)—still on some meds.
Me: 5’4”, SW 230, CW 160 (-70 lbs)—my GP took me off 3 High Blood Pressure pills!
We don’t call it it a diet anymore, it’s just how we eat everyday…we just say NO to junk food! I did see my Gyn again & she said whatever I was doing to lose weight, to just keep at it! Our two favorite cookbooks are Maria Emmerich’s Keto Comfort Foods & Keto Restaurant Favorites.
I would especially like to thank Maria & Craig Emmerich for their big hearts️, their expert advice, their recipes & their sharing of their wonderful life stories with their two handsome young boys, Micah & Kai! Thank you!” – Graciela

Sounds amazing! Can’t wait to try it. Just a quick correction. I think you meant “chicken broth” instead of “beef broth” in the “instructions” section.
Ah yes, thanks for the correction. 🙂
Thank you for that precious video; it made me weep tears of joy.
Thank you!
Ditto. I cried too. Beautiful. Maria, would be so kind as to tell us the artist/songs from the video?
Thanks! It was unforgettable! 🙂
One is Ben Harper “Picture of Jesus” and the other is Ray Lamontagne “Hold you in my arms”. 🙂
Is it boneless or bone in chicken? Thanks!
Either works. We use bone in. 🙂
Thank you so so so much! Blessings to you and your family🥰
Thanks!!
Thank you so much for sharing that video!
The boys were so stinking cute! Well, they still are, but as BABIES, OMG!! Makes me wanna take a bite! Lol
The recipe sounds super easy! We’ll have to try it soon!
Thanks again!
Thank you!! 🙂
As an Ethiopian, I admire your adapted recipe for doro wot. I have no doubt the boys will also taste it at an Ethiopian restaurant and know the difference as you do too, I am sure. How about the enjera ? Not keto. Still love it tough! You are a beautiful mother and father to very lovely boys.
Selam, selam.
Thanks! I would do something like this. 🙂

This sounds delicious and exotic 😋. We will have to try it. I have a question about the directions. Are you pressure cooking the onions with the spices but without any liquid? I know the onions have liquid in them but is it really enough to build up pressure? Thanks Maria!
Yes, it should as they cook. Thanks!
