Pilaf is a rather difficult dish to prepare, so not every housewife can make it.
What the cook fears most is that instead of a spectacular pilaf, he will end up with a banal porridge with meat and spices.
In order for a dish to always turn out great, you need to know certain secrets, noted Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of culinary issues for the online publication BelNovosti.
What to add to pilaf
Good quality rice
If you really want to cook excellent pilaf, then you should choose rice of the appropriate varieties. Most often, manufacturers mark the varieties as "For pilaf".
In this case, the probability of preparing a dish of excellent quality will be significantly higher.
Saffron
Some people are scared by the cost of saffron, but it is worth understanding: you will not need much of it for pilaf. However, saffron gives the dish a special shade of color and taste.
That's why real pilaf is not prepared without saffron.
Barberry
This is a unique component for pilaf, giving it a special aroma. Barberry also has a significant impact on the taste.
Therefore, do not forget about this spice.
Crust of bread
Few have heard of this "original" ingredient. However, it is worth putting it under the lid a couple of minutes before it is ready.
As a result, the pilaf will be incredibly crumbly.
