If you cut the carrots into strips, you can be sure that they will cook evenly while the pilaf is stewing.

Thin strips of vegetables heat up faster and absorb the aromas and flavors of spices, as well as meat juice. Thanks to this, the carrots become soft, while maintaining their structure.

Finally, carrots cut into strips retain their shape during cooking. The vegetable does not boil too quickly, which is important for the attractive appearance of the pilaf.
