Grated carrot is lightly caramelized in butter and cooked with rice in chicken stock. A comforting staple for everyday family meals, this pilaf stands out for its sweet carrot flavor.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Soak the Rice

30 min

Rinse the rice and soak it in warm salted water for 30 minutes, then drain.

2

Caramelize the Carrot

8 min

Sauté the grated carrot in butter for 8 minutes, until lightly browned.

3

Add the Rice and Cook

20 min

Add the drained rice to the carrot and sauté, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the hot chicken stock and salt. Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat and cook for 18 minutes, until the liquid has been absorbed.

4

Let the Pilaf Rest

10 min

Remove from the heat, cover the pot with a kitchen towel, put the lid on, and let the pilaf steam for 10 minutes before serving.

Reminder

Do not overcook the carrot; if it burns, it will give the pilaf a slightly bitter taste. Allergen: contains milk and dairy products (butter).
