The history of drob
Drob is a traditional dish, often associated with holidays and family gatherings. Over time, each region has developed its own variations, but the essence remains the same: combining fresh ingredients to create a tasty dish to be enjoyed with loved ones. Our recipe is a modernized version, combining livers with chicken breast to offer a balanced taste and fine texture.

Step by step for a perfect drob

1. Preparing the ingredients
Start by thoroughly washing the chicken liver under cold running water. Make sure to remove any membranes or veins for a more pleasant final result. Then, cut the chicken breast into strips of about 1 cm. This step will help achieve a uniform texture.

2. Pre-frying the ingredients
In a large skillet, add a little oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the strips of chicken breast and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn slightly golden. Don’t forget to season them with salt and pepper for better flavor. Once the chicken breast is ready, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.

3. Preparing the liver
In the same skillet, add a little more oil if necessary, then add the chicken liver along with the finely chopped white onion. Cook everything for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The liver should be cooked but not dry. At the end, add salt and pepper to taste.

4. Mixing the ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the fried chicken breast, cooked liver, and onion. Add the chopped green onions and green garlic, along with the 6 raw eggs. Mix all the ingredients well, ensuring they are completely combined.

5. Preparing the baking pan
Grease a baking pan with a little oil. I used a ceramic dish, but you can choose any type of pan that fits in your oven.

6. Assembling the drob
Place half of the meat mixture in the pan, then carefully arrange the 4 whole boiled eggs. These will give a special appearance to the drob. Add the rest of the meat mixture, and on top, pour the 3 beaten eggs. This step will not only enhance the appearance but also help form a golden crust.

7. Baking
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the pan in the oven and let it bake for 30-40 minutes or until the top becomes golden and firm. A useful trick is to try inserting a toothpick in the middle; if it comes out clean, the drob is ready.

8. Cooling and serving
Once the drob is baked, let it cool in the pan. This step is essential for easy removal. After it has completely cooled, carefully take it out of the pan and slice it for serving. It is delicious both warm and cold!

Serving suggestions
Chicken liver and breast drob can be served with a fresh vegetable salad or homemade mustard. Additionally, a slice of homemade bread or a glass of dry white wine can perfectly complement this delicacy.

Variations and tips
If you want to experiment, you can add herbs like dill or parsley to the mixture. You can also replace chicken liver with beef liver or add various vegetables, such as grated carrots or sautéed mushrooms, for an extra flavor boost.

Nutritional benefits
This drob is an excellent source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Chicken liver, in particular, is rich in iron and B vitamins, essential for blood and nervous system health. Chicken breast, being a lean meat, adds high protein content without being rich in fats.
