Start by soaking the cracked wheat in hot water for 15 minutes.
Put the cracked wheat and chicken in the pot and add water.
Add hot water or sauce from the side of the dish.
Cook the keskek for 70 minutes and serve with shredded chicken and butter.
After cooking, let it rest for 10 minutes so the meat juices do not run out once cut.
When serving, pour the thick cooking liquid over the main ingredients.
💡 Tip: Soaking the cracked wheat ahead of time helps the keskek reach a creamy texture faster.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Drizzle butter over the top and serve hot.
