Such a simple and delicious recipe. All your recipes are like that, simple but delicious.
Hello Binnur. I am a bit confused. I don't see anywhere in your ingredients section, chicken stock, yet you mention it whilst describing how to make it. hos much chicken stock is meant to be used?
Hi,
When you boil the chicken with water, you will have the chicken stock. Don't discard the stock, use it to cook the Turkish Rice Pilaf.
Ohh Ok I understand now. Thank you very much Binnur!
Hi Binnur,
When you cook chicken pilaf, what is the purpose of adding a whole onion while boiling the chicken?
Hi,
It adds flavor to the chicken and chicken broth, provides beautiful smell:)
