Pork pilaf in a slow cooker - tricks and tips
• The larger the meat for pilaf is cut, the longer it will be cooked, however, too small pieces give too much of their taste into rice, and they themselves become rather unappetizing.
• If you want the pilaf to have a rich yellow color, add a little curry to the meat during frying.
• The dish will not have the consistency of porridge, if the proportions of water and rice are properly observed.
• Pilaf is best obtained if it is cooked in fat tail or corn oil, however, in our case, using pork, you can simply choose slightly fatty pieces of meat.
• The finished dish will be especially tasty if you let it brew or hold for a while in the slow cooker in the “Heating” mode.
