Turkish-Style Chicken Stew

"From the blog "Surfing the world cuisine", whose author is a Lithuanian woman living in Turkey. She explains that this is not a traditional recipe, but in the Turkish tradition and using seasonal ingredients. Turkey exports most of its dried tomatoes, but they are available and why not use them? I have not made this, but it sounds quite appealing."

directions

  • Place tomatoes in a small bowl, cover with hot water and let stand ten minutes. Drain and julienne.
  • Heat oil in a large pot and add the chicken and chopped onions. Cook about five minutes, then add the chopped green pepper and cook three minutes longer.
  • Add the tomatoes, thyme, salt and pepper, and enough water to cover (I think I'd use broth), bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 10 minutes.
  • Add the spinach and half the green onions and parsley. Squeeze in some lemon juice - I'd add a bit at a time, to make sure it's not too sour. Cover and cook one minute longer. Remove from heat.
  • Ladle into serving bowls and garnish with the remaining green onions and parsley.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
