Chicken-Rice Purlo

Saute onion in bacon drippings until tender. Add cut up chicken and seven cups water.

Salt and pepper.

(I like my purlo hot with pepper.) Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer until done, about 1 1/2 hours.

Debone chicken, measure out 4 cups broth.

Return to boil add rice and chopped eggs.

Cook, covered, grains are tender and liquid is absorbed, about 25 to 30 minutes. Other meats or seafood may be substituted for the chicken.

Child I thought the whole world ate purlo for Sunday dinner.)
