Fat

This may come as a surprise to many, but mutton fat is actively used in the preparation of traditional pilaf.

It is melted to a liquid state and combined with vegetable oil.

Thanks to this, the pilaf turns out incredibly aromatic and delicious.

Bread

To make the pilaf not only tasty and aromatic, but also crumbly, you need to add a crust of stale black bread.

This will allow excess moisture to be absorbed.
