Waiting for a cook
Ethiopia
Key sega wat is the red beef stew of Ethiopia: cubes of beef cooked slowly in a thick sauce of onions, garlic, berbere and spiced butter until the sauce is dark red and the meat falls apart. "Key" means red and "sega" means meat; it is the beef sister of doro wat, made for Sundays, holidays and the end of fasting, and eaten with injera. The secret is the onions, cooked down for a long time with no oil at the start so they melt into the sauce.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 11 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
