The traditional organization of cookbooks has all the familiar categories (right table), but we thought that recipes could be organized around culture -- by months and days. How to do it without descroying the simplicity of the classical aggangement? Perhaps the hyper-text nature of web can offer us both ways!Ethiopian-Style Broiled DrumsticksWell, it is not in place yet. Where the chicken recipes should be? What pix and images do belong here?
Table: photos @ pix directory.

Notes
1/2 tsp Ginger, ground 1/2 tsp Cardamom, ground 1 tsp Coriander, ground 1/2 tbl Turmeric, ground 1/2 tbl Mustard, ground 1/2 tsp Fenugreek seeds, crushed 1/2 tsp Nutmeg, ground 1/2 tsp Cinnamon, ground 1/2 tsp Allspice, ground 2 tbl Cayenne pepper 1 x Dried cayenne chile pepper, seeded, minced 1/4 cup Paprika 1 1/2 tsp Salt 1 1/2 tsp Black pepper, ground 1/4 cup Dry red wine 2 tbl Peanut oil 2 tbl Orange juice 12 x Chicken drumsticksFor the spice paste, mix first 12 ingredients plus 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a small skillet. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly to form a smooth paste, for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in oil, wine and orange juice.
Note: Chicken drumsticks are marinated in a peppery spice paste or 'berbere,' which is a staple of Ethiopian cooking. Some of the more exotic spices have been omitted here, but this recipe still uses the traditional Ethiopian method of sauteeing the spices to bring out their flavor.
As a refreshing contrast to the spicy chicken, serve a fruit salad of cubed honeydew, cantaloupe, banana, pineapple, and papaya tossed in lime and pineapple juices.
[ variations: Chicken Stewed in Red Pepper Paste (Doro Wat) ]
1 - 2-1/2 lb. chicken, cut into 8 serving pieces 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 teaspoons salt 2 onions, finely chopped 1/4 cup niter kebbeh 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger root 1/4 teaspoon ground fenugreek 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 cup berbere 2 tablespoons paprika 1/4 cup dry red wine 3/4 cup water 4 hard-boiled eggs Freshly ground black pepper
Rinse and dry the chicken pieces. Rub them with lemon juice and salt. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.In a heavy enamel stewpot, cook the onions over moderate heat for about 5 minutes. Do not let brown or burn. Stir in the niter kebbeh. Then add the garlic and spices. Stir well. Add the berbere and paprika, and saute for 3-4 minutes. Pour in the wine and water and bring to a boil. Cook briskly, uncovered, for about 5 minutes.
Pat the chicken dry and drop it into the simmering sauce, turning the pieces about until coated on all sides. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, piece the hard-boiled eggs with the tines of a fork, piercing approximately 1/4" into the egg all over the surface. After the chicken has cooked, add the eggs and turn them gently in the sauce. Cover and cook the doro wat for 15 more minutes. Add pepper to taste.
