• 500 g mutton
• 300-400 g of onion

The recipe for cooking

The main thing is to carry out the preparationdishes in the correct sequence. Despite the fact that pilaf is not cooked in a cauldron, it should be prepared in such a way that it cannot be distinguished from the one cooked in a traditional Uzbek vessel. Modern technologies only help us simplify the work in the kitchen by automating it, but the taste of the dish should not deteriorate. On the contrary, you need to take only the good, if pilaf is made twice as fast, this should not mean that the taste has also deteriorated twice as much. Three main stages of pilaf preparation in any case:

• Meat
• Zirvak
• Rice with spices and spices

The basics are clear, the following is a detailed recipe:

• The first thing you need to do is to choosemeat. There are no categorical "pros" and "cons" here, there are many alternatives to lamb. This includes pork, beef, chicken, and even fish. The main thing is to choose the right spices for the meat.
• Meat is washed, excess is removed: veins, cartilage, skin, excess fat. If you take lamb as a meat, it's best to boil it in water until half-ready to avoid stiffness. Lamb itself is tough meat, so it's better to be safe.
• Lamb is cut into medium pieces, putin a multivark, flooded with water and cooked (stewed) for 40 minutes. The pressure is chosen to be three. When properly set, the pilaf will be perfect. As if he was cooked in a cauldron in nature by the real Uzbeks. So, the meat was cooked and not hard anymore.

Recipe for cooking zirvak

• Zirvak is being prepared.Zirvak is a part of pilaf consisting of onions, carrots and meat. The carrots are peeled, washed and cut into strips. The onion is cut into half rings. The secret of the right zirvak is that the proportions of onions, carrots and meat are 1:1:1. That is, there should be as much meat as carrots and onions. At first glance, it may seem that there is too much onion and carrot, but after frying they will decrease in size by 2-3 times.
• In the multivarka vegetable oil is poured in. The meat is fried in oil until a beautiful crust. There is added onions with carrots and stewed until half cooked.
• Add spices for pilaf, you can use it for grilling. Spices can be very different. There are spices and spices of European origin, and there is Asian.
• Carrots are fried so that carotene is better absorbed and gives the pilau a beautiful orange color.
• Seasonings add piquancy, improve taste and stimulate the stomach to produce more gastric juice, which is so necessary for digesting fatty foods.
• Meat with vegetables is stewed until the water evaporates. Vegetables should be roasted in oil.

Add the main ingredient - rice

• Next is the turn of rice. The rice is pre-washed. The water must be clean when rinsing. Rice falls asleep to vegetables and meat. Despite the fact that there is a recipe that offers to soak rice for a few hours before cooking, it is still not recommended to do this. Otherwise, it begins to swell and during cooking it will boil, but for plov this is unacceptable. After cooking, pilaf must be whole. Each grain should be allocated, and the rice should remain friable at the same time.
• By the time rice should be cooked half an hour, and waterpour a finger and a half above the vegetables with meat. If water is measured with glasses, then you can be mistaken, since the volumes of the pressure cookers are all different, so the water is poured into the eye.
• Instead of water, you can pour the broth left over fromcooking meat at the very beginning of cooking. In this case, the pilaf will be bold. For lovers of hearty and fatty dishes is an ideal option. For those who want to get pilaf easier and more populous, it is better to add plain water. This does not mean that the dish will be too fresh. After all, it contains meat and vegetable oil. Accordingly, rice is filled with water or broth for an amateur.
• In the middle of the multivarka, a chive of garlic is inserted.
• Salt to taste.
• After the broth (water) is poured into the rice, the "Porridge" mode is set. It cooks for about half an hour.
• After the signal and the rice is mixed. If no more water is left, the pilaf is ready. It is necessary that he brews for 10 minutes.
• When serving, you can decorate it with herbs or a variety of spices.
