How to Make Gaziantep Nesting Recipe?

• Put the diced low-fat meat into the pot, add 5 glasses of water and cook until the meat becomes soft.
• Continue cooking by adding the chickpeas you have previously boiled.
• Put the rice, which you soaked in water the night before and then drained and dried, in a food processor for 10-15 seconds.
• Put the rice and ground beef in a large bowl.
• Start kneading by adding black pepper and salt.
• After obtaining a soft and homogeneous mixture, start shaping your meatballs by cutting chickpea-sized pieces. Make meatballs as round and small in size as possible.
• Drop the meatballs you prepared into the boiling water with meat and chickpeas in the pot and cook for at least 15 minutes, leaving the lid of the pot open.
• To prevent the yoghurt from curdling, try to equalize the heat by slowly adding the broth in the pot before adding it. Thus, you will get a consistent nesting without experiencing a sharp temperature change.
• Add the warmed strained yoghurt to the pot, little by little but stirring quickly. Bring to a boil over low heat.
• When serving, drizzle with oil and dried mint. Your Antep nest is ready, bon appetit!
