👨🍳 Інструкції
- 1
Cook the chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a pot with water to cover, along with the chopped onion, minced garlic, cardamom pods, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the broth, reserving the broth. Shred the chicken finely once cooled.
⏱️ 30 minutes - 2
Combine wheat and broth: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the soaked and drained cracked wheat with the reserved chicken broth (about 1.5 liters, or enough to cover the wheat by about 2 inches). Add salt and pepper.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Simmer the wheat: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. The wheat should become very tender and start to break down.
⏱️ 2 hours - 4
Add chicken and continue cooking: Stir in the shredded chicken into the wheat mixture. Continue to cook, stirring often, for another 30-60 minutes, or until the harees reaches a thick, porridge-like consistency. Add more broth or water if it becomes too thick.
⏱️ 1 hour - 5
Adjust seasoning and serve: Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Remove the cardamom pods and cinnamon stick. Serve hot in bowls, drizzled generously with ghee. Some prefer a sprinkle of sugar on top.
