Maklube (Pilaf with Layered Chicken/Meat and Potatoes)

2 ½ cups rice
2 lbs chicken breast
5 large potatoes, peeled and sliced in ½” thick circular shapes
1-2 carrots, peeled and sliced
½ cup oil for frying
2 onions, sliced in circular shapes
1½ tbsp salt
1 tbsp oil
3½ cups chicken stock
A pinch of black pepper
Garnish:
Yogurt and any kind of finely chopped green salad

In a pot, place the chicken and add some salt. Boil, till the chicken is cooked. Then remove the bones (if any) and cut the chicken in bite sizes. Leave the chicken stock for later use.
In a large skillet, fry the potatoes and carrots until they turn to light golden brown. Do not over fry. Sprinkle some salt on them.
In a bowl, wash the rice and cover with warm water. Leave for 15-20 minutes and drain.
In a large pot, spread the oil and place the onion slices evenly, without leaving any space at the bottom. Then place some of the chicken on them to make a layer. Then form a thin layer of the rice on them. Repeat forming layers with potatoes, chicken, carrots and rice in between till you use all the ingredients.
Add 1 ½ tbsp salt into the chicken stock that you have. Take 3 ½ cups of chicken stock and add to the pot. If you don’t have enough chicken stock you can use hot water instead. Close the lid and cook over low-medium heat until the rice is soft and the water evaporates (about 30-45 minutes).
When the Maklube is cooked, reverse the pot in the middle of a large circular tray. Hit the sides and top of the pot with a wooden spoon. Remove the pot slowly. Then place yogurt and salad in sequence around the Maklube. Generally shepherd salad is used but you can also use any other salad you wish. You can also add fried eggplant, peas and or any other vegetables you like. You can sprinkle some black pepper on top before serving.
ENJOY!

Home Made Yogurt (Evde Yogurt Yapimi)

4 cups milk
1-2 tbsp plain yogurt

Please keep in mind that the most important points in making yogurt are adding sample yogurt to the milk at the right temperature and keeping it warm for a while. The exact temperature for fermentation is between 42-45 C.
Place the milk in a pot and heat it until the boiling point. If you like creamy yogurt, simmer the milk a few more minutes to let the water evaporate more. Take the milk from the stove and wait about 10-12 minutes. Occasionally, dip your finger into the milk and try to count till 7. If you can bear the heat till 7, it means the milk is ready for fermentation. Don’t let the milk cool more than that since if the milk is not hot enough, fermentation won’t take place.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp of yogurt with lukewarm milk by using a wooden spoon (don’t use metal spoons). Add this mixture to the milk and stir with the wooden spoon. Then, pour the milk to the containers and close their lids. (see the picture) The best container for making yogurt is glass. To keep the milk warm, cover the container completely with a cloth and then cover again with a blanket or something similar. Make sure to cover tightly to keep the milk warm for a while. (see the picture) Generally, it takes 5-6 and 7-8 hours for fermentation in summer and winter, respectively. After fermentation, take yogurt out of its cover without shaking. Store in the fridge for at least 3-4 hourr before serving.
I often make yogurt in the evenings and it stays covered all night. I remove the covers in the morning.
ENJOY
