Uzbek plov, Central Asia's famous pilaf, in which lamb is slow-cooked at length with carrots and onion, then combined with rice. With its rich meaty aroma and distinct rice grains, it's a filling main dish for special tables.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Sauté the meat and onion

15 min

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot and add the cubed meat, sautéing until it changes color; then add the onion and continue sautéing until softened.

2

Add the carrot and cook

30 min

Add the julienned carrot and sauté for 5-6 minutes, then add the cumin and a little water and cook over low heat until the meat is tender.

3

Add the rice and water

5 min

Spread the drained rice evenly over the meat, bury the garlic in the center, add hot water and salt, and bring to a boil.

4

Cook over low heat

18 min

Once boiling, reduce to low heat, close the lid, and cook until the rice softens and the water is absorbed.

5

Let rest and serve

10 min

Remove from the heat, let it rest for 10 minutes, then gently mix the rice and meat and transfer to a serving plate.

Reminder

Important: Thoroughly softening the meat and carrot is the foundation of the pilaf's flavor — don't rush this step. Add a little water at a time as needed; if the rice absorbs too much water, it turns mushy. Contains no allergen.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Cutting the carrot into thick julienne strips preserves the plov's traditional texture and sweetish aroma.
