International Recipes from Students in Australia Photo: Christine Rhodes You eat Alicha with a big, round pancake like the one in this picture of Tesfanesh, Awoke, and Aganesh Abate. Alicha (Meat Stew) Tesfanesh Abate from Ethiopia Ageresh Abate and Awoke Abate, also from Ethiopia, helped prepare the dish! Alicha is like a stew or casserole, and the Ethiopian name for this is a wat. Stews are very popular in my country. Alicha, a more delicately seasoned Wat (stew), contains no berbere(chili). It is often eaten at home, and it is also served in restaurants. I like it because it tastes nice like curry and it is not hot.
