- CIRCASSIAN CHICKEN - Traditional Turkish Mezze Dish Of Chicken With A Creamy Walnut Sauce
Music: Seyh Samil - Caucasian Music

In this episode, I'd like to share with you my version of CERKES TAVUGU, a great dish which we absolutely love. It is actually a mystery why it is called Circassian chicken because the Circassians are preparing it differently. And this plate is usually served as an appetizer but we love to eat it as a main dish.
CERKES TAVUGU is so easy to make and it tastes amazing.

INGREDIENTS
1 whole chicken
2 cup walnuts (crumbled)
1/2 cup milk
2-3 slices day-old bread
1 clove garlic
1 carrot and 1 onion (chopped)
1 bay leaf
Salt & black pepper
Sweet paprika
Olive oil
Chopped parsley or coriander (for garnishing)
DIRECTIONS
Place the rinsed chicken into a big pan and fill it with water.
Add 1 tsp salt, a pinch of black pepper, 1 clove garlic, bay leaf,
carrot and onion.
Bring to a boil over medium high heat.
Using a spoon, skim off the foam.
Reduce heat to the lowest possible setting, and simmer for about
90 minutes, leaving the lid slightly ajar.
Transfer the bird into a bowl, strain the stock and reserve.
When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove and discard skin
and bones.
Tear the chicken into shreds.
Season to taste.
Cut the sides of the bread.
Toast the bread slices, totally optional but adds a nice extra flavor.
Repeat the same process with walnuts, if desired.
Place bread into bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times.
Transfer into a bowl, add 1/2 cup milk and mix.
Then, squeeze it dry and place back into bowl of the food processor.
Add walnuts, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tsp sweet paprika, a pinch of salt and pepper, you can also add 2-3 cloves of garlic if desired.
Pulse to combine.
Transfer mixture into a deep serving dish.
Add 1 cup reserved stock and mix.
Add the meat and mix.
Add 1 more cup of stock, mix again.
You may add more chicken stock if it seems too dry, but 2 cups
is usually enough.
Adjust seasoning then smooth the top with a spoon.
For the sauce, heat 2-3 tbsp olive oil in a small pan, over medium heat.
Add 1 tsp sweet paprika and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Drizzle hot sauce over the Circassian chicken.
Garnish with chopped greens.
You may serve it warm, at room temperature or even cold, whatever your heart desires.

Since when did our traditional food became part of Turkish??? This is Circassian, not Turkish.
Honor Hatko exactly. I am circassian (adyghe) and I hate it when they claim this is their food. Tu4ks 3ven even didn't know this dish existed couple years ago. and than she claims that this is a traditional turkish meze like, wth?
Şamil Alpaslan yes it is wrong, because there is something called (cultural) appropiation. In this case its appropiation of circassian cuisine. This is how assimilation starts you know, by not protecting your own identity (culture, history, cuisine) and giving up parts of it to others. Are you ok with the fact that kosaks, who actively took part in the genocide towards the the circassians are wearing our traditional costumes? And the whole world knows it as typical traditional kosak costume? I am not. Same goes for the circassian chicken. I am not ok that a dish, which is the main representive of the circassian cuisine is called turkish or ottoman. Costume or dish, appropiation is appropiation!!!
@@juhuri6128 so just we don't have an independent country, we should give up our identity and assimilate? So we should give up our culture and language? Si we should just disappear and call us as someone else.That makes no sense. Because we are a DIASPORA nation, we should protect what is ours more.
@@juhuri6128 so she is introducing our culture by claiming what is ours as turkish? That makes no sense. She obviously isn't introducing circassian culture to the world.5 Because in the info box, she clearly says that this is supposed to be an ottoman meze. And that she doesn't know why it's called circassian chicken. I doubt she even made an effort to research the origins. Btw I am not surprised that your family is assimilated. A lot of circassians give in to the pressure of assimilation in Turkey, which I find strange, giving the fact that the majority of the circassians live in Turkey but are far more assimilated than those in Jordan for example. To your statement about we not having an independent state: we have a homeland, Circassia, regardles if it is independent or occupied. This does and will not change. And Circassia being not independent has nothing to do with resisting assimilation or not protecting our identity. That's what I am saying. Yes, Caucasus is not independent, unfortunately. But should we forget and deny our roots? I think that's wrong. Millions of turks also live in Europe for decades, were born there and live among Europeans, but still call Turkey as home. If they are allowed to do that, so should we. And they refused to integrate, where as circassians are integrated in turkish society.My point is: just because we don't have an independent country, doesn't mean that it's ok to to assimilate. Btw your comments about those instagram stars you call prostitutes has nothing to do with this topic. I don't know why you'd bring that up. There are black sheep in every nation.
@@juhuri6128 btw I think that's good that you try to learn about our culture and want to move to the motherland!!! It will probably be hard but don't give up!!! Even if it is a small step, a step is a step. Btw my words might have sounded harsh, but I just get upset , when we circassians don't care about our issues (whether it is a dish or a small thing). Vecause I think that is the start of assimilation: not caring. So don't take my words as a personal attack and Good luck!!!
Awesome. Big Like + 🔔. Stay in touch.

How is this eaten? With bread or just as is
Variety is important when serving a mezze table and there should be some bread as well. But we like to eat it as a main dish, so I usually serve it with green salad, sometimes with pilaf. It is also a great filling for a sandwich and delicious when wrapped in a pita bread or even a crepe... Happy cooking!
Elvanca Tarifler tariflerin türkçe olması gerek!Size
Kemal bey, "Çay Nasıl Demlenir" bölümü hariç, tüm bölümlerin hem Türkçesi hem de İngilizcesi kanalımda mevcut. Hassasiyetiniz için teşekkürlerimle...
This is the perfect simple recipe for this. While not traditional, I added some sautéed mushrooms to mine. Came out delicious. Thank you
i will tell you how to eat this. this, as the nane says is a traditional dish of the circassians and NOt a traditional turkish meze. we the circassians eat it with "paste" some kind of polenta. No bread, no rice or anything. the person whi posted this obviously doesn't know anything about the original and claims it as a turkish meze.
that's not traditional turkish meze. this is, as the name says a circassian dish and NOT TURKISH. You make it sound like it's a stable in the turkish cuisine. Turkish people didn't and some even still haven't even heard of this dish.
I think it is a mystery why we call it 'Circassian chicken', cause Circassians are cooking and serving it differently. But this is the common title and this is the way to cook and serve, since Ottomans.
I can tell you, why you call it circassian chicken. You call it circassian chicken, because the way you prepare this is just just a variation of the dish known as circassian chicken. There are different ways to prepare this dish even among circassians. Btw you say this dish exists since the ottoman times? That's because circassians brought this dish with them when they came to the ottoman empire. This makes your argument of o possible ottoman origin of this dish invalid. there is similar dish among georgians, who are, surprise also from the caucasus. Which indicates that tjis dish has its origins in the caucasian cuisine.
To me, this is like claiming, there is no such thing as, (for example) British tea tradition, cause the origin of tea/chai is China.
Well, who knows what might happen, in 300-400 years from now on. They might respectfully refer to Turks, and create something new to their tastebuds.
Elvanca Tarifler so why don't you respectfully refer to the circassians than?
Resembles georgian satsivi a lot :) That might be the origin of its name...
Thanks for watching and leaving feedback.
As you can guess this is not a traditional (lol) turkish meze. Many turkish people haven't even heard it's name or tried it but somehow people claim this dish as turkish as you can see. and yes it resembles it, as circassians and georgians are caucasian. but it has not it's name from the georgians or the dish as as people refer to georgians in Turkey as those and not as Circassians. But there are different types of circassian chicken. I am an adyghe anf for example I don't use white bread. Btw I had this just yesterday and have tried the georgian satsivi from a georgian friend
Are you Circassian ?
