Soak the rice in hot salted water for 20 minutes, then drain.
Toast the pine nuts in butter for 3 minutes until lightly pink.
Add the rice and toast for 4 minutes, then pour in the chicken stock.
Cook the pilaf with shredded chicken, currants, and spices for 12 minutes.
Knead a dough with flour, eggs, yogurt, and butter, then roll it thinly.
Arrange almonds in the mold, line it with the dough, and fill it with the pilaf.
Close the top and bake in a 180°C oven for 40 minutes until browned.
💡 Tip: Closing the pilaf before it is fully softened prevents it from turning mushy inside the pastry in the oven.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Invert the perde pilaf, slice the almond crust, and serve with ayran and salad.
