Hey, recipes, I got one... although maybe it belongs in that soup thread

So here's a recipe

(all measurements are in Metric/Continental European keep this in mind because a teaspoon in the Netherlands turns out to be about half of what it is in Britain)

Tavuk Corbasi

which is Turkish chicken soup

Needed for 4 people

2 tablespoons of rice
1/2 teaspoon of tarragon
1 liter of chicken stock
40g butter
40g flour
200ml turkish yoghurt
salt
pepper
200g of chicken
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of lemon zest
2 tablespoons of chopped chives

Boil the rice in the chicken stock with the tarragon in about 30 minutes, Meanwhile Fry the chicken with salt and pepper and when cooked slice into strips.
Melt the butter and stir in the flour, then add the yoghurt while stirring then heat slowly until a nice thick roux is achieved.
add the roux to the stock while stirring to get it to thicken a bit, add seasoning to taste.
Then add chicken, lemon juice and lemon zest and bring to just below boiling. add the chives just before serving.
Serve with turkish bread.

Bon Appetit.
