Ingredients

  • 6 quarts chicken or turkey stock (see notes above)
  • 12 eggs
  • 2 cups lemon juice
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 4 cups cooked chicken or turkey, pulled from the bone in nice, big pieces
  • Olive oil for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the stock in a large pot on the stovetop. In a bowl, whisk whole eggs vigorously until frothy (by hand or with a stand mixer/hand blender), then add lemon juice while mixing.
  2. Slowly drizzle 1 to 2 quarts hot stock into the egg-lemon mixture while continuing to mix to allow to temper. Add the tempered mixture back to the remaining stock along with the rice and meat. Bring up to a brief boil and let simmer to thicken slightly.
  3. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Garnish each bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and freshly chopped parsley.
