Hearty Ethiopian Slow-Cooked Chicken Pilaf

Assemble the ingredients: chicken, garlic, black pepper, parsley, carrot, tomato, salt.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the chicken and cook until slow-cooked.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Ethiopian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Ethiopian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
