Ingredients

  • 9 oz chicken breast 250 g
  • 3.5 oz green onions 100 g
  • 2 oz green garlic 60 g, Note
  • 1 can sliced mushrooms
  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 bunch Dill about 1 oz/ 30 g chopped dill
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt or more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 180°C. Line the baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Boil chicken livers: Place the chicken liver in a medium pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 3-4 minutes and drain well. It should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the middle. 1 lb chicken liver/ 450 g
  3. Cook the chicken breast in another pot; it should be cooked through.9 oz chicken breast/ 250 g
  4. Prepare remaining ingredients: In the meantime, roughly chop the onions and garlic. If using regular garlic, you should grate it. Drain the mushrooms and roughly chop the herbs. Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl.3.5 oz green onions/ 100 g + 2 oz green garlic/ 60 g + 1 can sliced mushrooms + 1 bunch parsley + 1 bunch dill + 3 large eggs
  5. Chop: When the chicken liver and breast are cool enough to handle, chop them both into pieces.
  6. Process chicken drob: Place all the prepared ingredients including salt and pepper in the food processor, add the salt and the pepper, and process until you obtain a rough paste. I never make it too fine; I like to have some bits of meat and greens left. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary.1 teaspoon fine sea salt + ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  7. Bake drob: Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and level. Bake for about 30-35 minutes until a nice crust is formed.
  8. Let cool completely, remove from the baking dish, and cut into squares.

Notes

  • Green garlic substitute: If you cannot get green garlic, replace it with more green onions and add about 4 grated garlic cloves to the mixture. Or use 2 oz/ 60 g wild garlic, if available.
