Classic pilaf cooked with lamb. But not everyone loves this meat, so they replace it with chicken, rabbit, pork.
Subtleties
- To keep the meat dry, it is not cut too small. For the same reason, it is not worth much roasting. Enough to form a light crust.
- Carrots cut large straws. If it is grated on a grater, it will give its juice and color to the rice, boil down, and the pilaf without carrot pieces will look like porridge.
- Long-grain rice is best for pilaf, as well as one in which there is little starch. Rice should be well absorbed in water, but it does not boil soft.
- Many pilaf recipes do not mention that rice should be soaked before laying. But thanks to this action, the rice is evenly saturated with moisture and not deformed during cooking. But before falling asleep in the bowl with it you need to drain all the water so that because of the excess amount of liquid, the pilaf does not turn out to be viscous.
- It is recommended to add spices and spices to pilaf with pork in order to kill the natural specific smell of meat. Seasoning is chosen according to your taste. But most often they use turmeric, cumin, chili pepper, paprika, barberry, parsley, onion, garlic.
- Plov cooking time depends on the power and capabilities of the multicooker. It ranges from 35 minutes to an hour. But after the device is turned off, the pilaf is left in the bowl for another 15-20 minutes, so that it reaches a condition and becomes crumbly.
