1 or 1 1/2 cup hot water
Place the cabbage in a large pot. Add the chicken pieces in along with the rest of the ingredients. Cover the lid and cook for about half an hour over medium heat. Check the water towards the end to see if it is necessary to add more. Don't put too much water in the beginning, the cabbage will leave water during cooking.

Sevgilerimle,
The recipe says "1/2 lemon juice". Is this 1/2 cup, 1/2 lemon or some other measure? Thanks for posting all these recipes.

Hi Kate,
Cut one lemon in half, afterwards, use one of the halfs:)
Hi Binnur :)
we can make the same recipe using ground meat ? or that will be a different recipe ?
Hi Meme:)
Sure, you can also cook Kapuska with the lamb or beef cubes. Use the same ingredients to cook it.
Thanks binnur :)
you really helped me a lot . I will try it with ground meat .
I want 2 ask you ! how the turk prepear the olive ? is there a spesial recipe or you just soak it in water & salt ?
Hi Meme,
Do you mean how to prepare pickled olive in brine picked from the tree? Or you just want to know how to store packaged olive bought from the grocery after opening it?
I picked my green olives from tree then I cracked them and finelly I put them in brine . Now what should I do to have them in the turkish way ? After that the Arab soak the green olive with pomegranate molasses or with some lemon juice & carrot . they turn out yummy but I want to know your style :)the turkish style
thanks alooot
After cracking the green olives you should soak them into the spring water and drain and renew the process every day for about 3 weeks to release the bitterness.
Afterwords there is few options to give the taste:
- Salt, lemon.
- Marjoram, oregano, Bay leaf, rosemary, fennel seeds, cumin, crushed red pepper, mashed garlic.
- Or: Anise, red pepper (powder), garlic, peppercorn.
After tossing green olives with these mixtures, cover them with olive oil. They should be bathing in it at least 3 days. Occasionally turn the jar upside down.
Take care,
That`s what I`m looking for . I will try those ways . thanks a lot 4 being such a help 4 me .
