Fake, but delicious: how to cook pilaf in 30 minutes
Quick pilaf prepared according to this recipe is appreciated by housewives not only for the speed of preparation, but also for its amazing taste.
Of course, from the point of view of professional chefs, this dish cannot be called a full-fledged pilaf, but this does not in any way negate its advantages listed above.
The ingredients for pilaf are standard: chicken, steamed rice, carrots, onions, garlic, tomato paste, vegetable oil, pilaf seasoning, salt and pepper to taste.
First, pour hot water over the rice, then you can set it aside and work on the other ingredients.
Pour oil into the cauldron, and when it is hot enough, throw in the meat, grated carrots and chopped onions to fry them.
Now it’s time for the ready-made pilaf seasoning, salt and tomato paste – when they are all “in place”, leave the ingredients to simmer for a couple of minutes.
At this time, you can rinse the rice under running water, after which the cereal can be sent to the cauldron. Add water - just enough to barely cover the rice, and simmer for about 5-10 minutes.
When the rice is cooked, add 2-3 cloves of garlic into the resulting pilaf for a couple of minutes.
