Traditional Recipe from Tatiana Constantine

Ingredients

For the filling:
1 large chicken (you can use meat from heavy lambs or whatever meat you want)
3 medium onions, finely chopped
1 cup oil
1 kg of rice
salt, black pepper

For the leaves:
4 cups flour (about)
¼ cup olive oil
salt water (as much as needed)

Directions

Cut the meat (like with bones) into small pieces and wash thoroughly. In medium pot add half a cup of olive oil, onions, and roasted lightly. Immediately Put the chicken in the pot also roasted lightly and cover with water, letting it simmer.

Immediately knead the dough sheets with all the ingredients together. Once the dough is ready, divide it into two “balls”, sprinkle with flour and leave to rest.

Once the meat is ready, remove from the pan and place in a bowl. Wash rice, strain, put a little oil, a little salt and stir well. You open the two leaves, with little niseste, and once it is ready, Lay over medium greased pan. Immediately pour the rice and spread with a spoon on the sheet, and slowly put the meat around the pan, starting from the middle. When you spread all the pieces, you catch the edges and wrap inward so as to create “kothro” (or “krotho”). In “kothro” Closing the pieces of meat you put on the perimeter of the pan. Pour a little oil on the leaves and then with a spoon pour the rice slowly to the broth boiled meat (about 6-7 cups of warm broth). Place the pan in a preheated oven (200 degrees) for about 1 hour
