Lamb or Beef Pilaf
Recipe Ingredients
- 3.5-4.5 lb meat (beef, lamb)
- 2 lb rice
- 3-4 carrots
- 3-4 onions
- red ground pepper
- black ground pepper
- salt
- dressing for pilaf
- vegetable or olive oil
Preparation
Cut the meat into small pieces.
Cut the onion into half rings.
Grate the carrot on a large grater.
Fry the meat in vegetable or olive oil (you can fry it in fat) in the sauce pan with semispherical bottom.
Then add onion and fry until a golden color is reached.
Then add carrots, salt, pepper. Add spices and add a little bit of water. Simmer for 20-25 minutes.
Then add rice (DO NOT mix with meat!) and even it out. Carefully add water (boiling), so it would cover rice 1”. Boil until rice absorbs water. The main rule is not to mix rice and meat!
When rice absorbs all the water, you need to create several holes, so they will reach the bottom of the sauce pan (with semispherical bottom). Pour a little bit of boiling water into the holes, lessen the heat and let the pilaf simmer for 30-35 minutes. Stir the cooked pilaf and serve.
Bon appétit!
