Chicken with Pine Nuts

[siglinde99]

I found a 50 year old recipe from the then Turkish Ambassador to Canada (or more likely his wife). I had pine nuts, so I bought a chicken. I carelessly overlooked the requirement for currants, and my chicken doesn't come with the liver - it appears 21st C people aren't used to coping with innards. So I have substituted dried blueberries for currants and ignored the liver part. I figure this will make an interesting Turkish-Canadian fusion recipe. It smells delicious.

Its amazing how similar our cooking styles are. I am sure I learned all I know from you. Or blame you anyway.

I will happily take the credit for your better experiments :). I think shared cooking styles is a large part of why we get along.

I'm hoping to send you the draft of my cookbook sometime in the next few weeks.

how was this?

It was surprisingly delicious. I don't normally like fruit and meat, but the amount of fruit in this was quite small, and it blended really nicely with the pine nuts.
