Plov, a dish influenced by Tatar cuisine in southern Ukraine, is a hearty one-pot meal of chicken, plenty of carrots, and rice. The carrots’ natural sweetness gives the rice rich color and flavor. It cooks in one pot and holds up well cold, making it convenient for a picnic.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Brown the chicken

10 min

Heat the olive oil in a large pot and brown the chicken thigh pieces on all sides.

2

Add the vegetables

8 min

Add the onion and carrot sticks and sauté until softened. Stir in the cumin and salt.

3

Add the rice and water

22 min

Arrange the rinsed rice and whole head of garlic over the vegetables. Add the water and bring to a boil, then cover and cook over low heat.

4

Rest and serve

10 min

Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove the garlic head, stir, and serve.

Reminder

Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking; excess starch can make it stick to the bottom of the pot and develop a scorched smell.

Pirinci yeterince yıkamadım ve tarifte uyarıldığı gibi tencerenin dibi biraz yapıştı, bir dahaki sefere suyu berraklaşana kadar en az beş kez değiştirip aynı hatayı tekrarlamayacağım.
