HOW TO MAKE PLOV/ PILAFF 

Plov is the Uzbek social food, a traditional recipe eaten in every cerimonial occasion. love this dish, its so filling, easy and delicious, full of flavors and just is a hit every time I make it! Plov is a rice pilaf with meat, carrots, onions and spices.

 It’s borrowed and adopted from the Uzbek kitchen. I think every Russian family makes it. This is our type of comfort food. It’s absolutely delicious – tender chunks of meat, fluffy rice with lots of aromatic flavors given by onions, carrots and garlic. It also has several great spices to kick it up a notch. You can make it ahead of time, which is a big plus. It reheats and freezes very well, which is even better. 

Pilaf (also known as pilav, plov, pulao, polu and palaw) is a dish in which rice is cooked in a seasoned broth. In some cases, the rice may also attain its brown color by being stirred with bits of cooked onion, as well as a large mix of spices. Depending on the local cuisine, it may also contain meat, fish, vegetables, and (dried) fruits.Pilaf and similar dishes are common to Balkan, Middle Eastern, Caucasian, Central and South Asian, East African, Latin American, and Caribbean cuisines. It is however a national dish in Afghan, Uzbek, Tajik, and Bukharan Jewish cuisines.
