Music: Santa Lucia - Traditional Neapolitan Song
Piano: Elvan A. ULUCINAR
In this episode, I'd like to share with you my version of 'iç pilav', is often used as stuffing or served with chicken/turkey especially for the New Year's Eve. It is so easy to make, tastes amazing and sweet because of the spices used. You can also expand this dish by adding chicken liver, sautéed together with the onion.
