Try this CIRCASSIAN CHICKEN WITH WALNUTS (Cerkez Tavugu) recipe, or contribute your own.
Suggest a better descriptionRemove excess fat from chicken and place into a large pot with all stock ingredients and enough water to almost cover chicken. Bring to boil, cover, lower the heat and leave to simmer for an hour or more until chicken leg starts to separate from the body. Once cooked, remove chicken from pot and leave to cool until meat can be picked off bone. Reserve chicken and broth; discard skin/bones.
Tear meat into thin strips and put into a large bowl. Bring stock back to boil and reduce for 15-20 minutes. Check seasoning and strain.
Soak bread in broth, reserve a small handful of whole walnuts for decorations, grind remaining walnuts and garlic to a paste and beat into the soaked bread or blend into an electric food processor. Add enough stock to make the mixture light and creamy - but thicker than a creamy soup. Keep ? cup of the mixture behind for later. Add the rest to the chicken and bind together with a few more spoonfuls of warm stock, if necessary.
When ready to serve cover with a thin layer of the reserved walnut mixtures. This is partly to make the surface look smooth and also to keep it from drying out. Decorate with walnuts, or melted butter mixed with red pepper flakes and coriander leaves.
