Wedding pilaf (perde pilavi)

“Hailing from the south-east region of Turkey, this dish is typically eaten at weddings and symbolises the building of a new home together. Like most celebration dishes shared by families and communities, this delicate parcel stuffed with spiced chicken, nuts, herbs, spices and perfumed rice takes time, care and age-old cooking techniques.” Ainsley Harriott, Ainsley Harriott's Street Food
