22. De cibo qui dicitur kloken vanlyner
One shall make a cup of dough and cut up a chicken into it and add bacon and cut it afterwards to the size of peas and add pepper and cumin, saffron and yolk of egg well beaten. Take this cup closed and bake like bread in the oven. (Here is told the making of vinegar)

Steps

1. I took the chicken breasts, skinned them, and cut them into small (1/2 inch) cubes. Then cut the bacon finely, and added it to the chicken. Added the egg yolk, then mixed to blend & added the pepper & cumin.
2. Separate the dough into 2 parts, roll 1 part out to about 1/4 inch thick. Mold this into a small bowl, add chicken mixture. Take about half of the rest of the dough, roll out, and use to cover the bowl of chicken. Turn upside down, pull out of the bowl, put in the oven at 350° for an hour (in a pan).

Note

Tastes good, possibly less cumin. Doable for a feast.
