Cooking method

Cooking time: 2 h 40 min

My chicken (usually I take a chicken drumstick), put it in a saucepan, pour water, bring to a boil. After the meat is cooked for 5 minutes, drain the broth and pour in new cold water (if the chicken is homemade, this can not be done).

Cook the broth for about 20 minutes (do not forget to remove the foam), then add vegetables to it:
- stalks and parsley root, cilantro (no need to chop);
- peeled carrots, cut into a couple of pieces;
- a whole onion (peeled from the husk);
- bay leaf, peppercorns.

Cook the broth on low heat for half an hour, then remove all the vegetables, herbs and meat from it, filter through a sieve.

Return the strained broth to the fire, bring to a boil and add the pre-peeled and sliced potatoes. After about 15 minutes, add the thoroughly washed rice (rinse several times - until clear water) and cook for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel the onion, cut into small cubes and fry it in vegetable oil for 5 minutes. Then add the chicken (after separating the meat from the bones and cutting into small pieces), keep on fire for another 2 minutes, stirring. We enrich the roast with spices: hops-suneli, coriander, red and black pepper, paprika, as well as tomato paste and, of course, salt.

Tomatoes are scalded with boiling water, skinned and crushed with a blender. Add to the pan to the meat, and also pour in the broth (1 cup), stir and simmer for about 10 minutes under the lid.

5 minutes before the rice is ready, put the contents of the frying pan into the broth, add chopped walnuts, tkemali sauce, squeeze garlic through a press, salt to taste.

Let the kharcho brew for 15-20 minutes and serve on the table.

Bon appetit!
