Recipe of Plov

Join me and let's see how to make Plov

Instructions:

Step 1
• Rinse the rice thoroughly in cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or a Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
• Add the cubed meat and brown it on all sides until it's nicely seared. Remove the meat from the pot and set it aside.
Step 4
• In the same pot, add the thinly sliced onions and cook until they become golden brown and caramelized.
Step 5
• Add the julienned carrots and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
• Return the seared meat to the pot and add the cumin seeds, coriander seeds, paprika, ground cumin, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 7
• Pour in the rinsed rice and mix it with the meat and spices.
Step 8
• Add the water or broth to the pot, ensuring it covers the rice mixture by about an inch. Bring it to a boil.
Step 9
• Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid. You can also place a clean kitchen towel or paper towel under the lid to absorb excess moisture.
Step 10
• Once the Plov is done, fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley.
Step 11
• Serve the Central Asian Plov hot and enjoy this delicious and hearty meal!
