Doro Wat and Injera on Diner Table

North-window sidelight cuts across a laminate diner table, illuminating dust motes dancing in the arctic summer air. A clay bowl holds deep red doro wat, its glossy sauce pooling around chunks of tender chicken. The stew rests atop a large, spongy sheet of injera, its porous surface absorbing the rich juices. The food occupies the center of a tightly cropped frame, surrounded by the cool, gray tones of the metal table edge. Sunlight reflects off the oily sheen of the sauce, highlighting the texture of the flatbread. A small ceramic spoon handle peeks out from the bowl's rim, resting at an angle against the vibrant red stew.
