What you shouldn't cook pilaf without

If you do not plan to use fat tail fat when preparing pilaf, then be sure to add raisins to the dish.

First, the dried berries must be poured into a deep container, filled with low-temperature water and wait 60 minutes.

Raisins can be added to pilaf only after soaking is complete.

The dried fruit should be added to the dish at about the same time as the garlic, that is, at the final stage of cooking.
