• Depending on your rice cooker, the bottom may get brown. I like it, it gives it some extra zip!

• At this point, you should hear your microwave telling you the broth is ready.

RICE PILAU/ PILAF OR HOMEMADE RUSSIAN PLOV

Steps:

• The first thing you want to do is dice your carrot into long sticks, and chop your onions, then dice your goat meat into tiny bite sizes and season with some salt, pepper, and some stock seasoning powder, set this aside for at least 20 minutes. (I would recommend using goat meat for this recipe, but if you are unable to find goat meat, then you can definitely use beef) Now we are ready to start cooking, get your pot, pour your oil and wait for it to get hot, then pour in your pre-seasoned goat meat and fry until it is golden brown, and no we are not cooking our meat first, we are just going to fry it straight, trust me, it is totally fine. Once your meat is fried, take it out of the oil.
• Now you will pour your chopped onions, let it fry for a few minutes, then add your chopped carrots to it and let them fry together for a few minutes, after which you pour your fried goat meat back into the pot and let them all fry together for a few minutes, add a bit of seasoning to the veggies and meat, a little bit of salt, pepper, and seasoning stock cubes, mix everything together, and then pour 750ml of water to this and let it come to a boil.
• While your meat and veggies are coming to a boil, prepare your rice by rinsing it thoroughly until you get all the starch out, I would say rinse at least 3-4 times, and then boil some water in a kettle, and get a large bowl, pour your rice into the bowl and pour the boiling hot water onto the rice, make sure you boil more than enough water because your rice needs to be submerged in water the entire process.
• After preparing your rice, your plov sauce should be boiling now, taste it and check if it needs more seasoning, if it does, season to taste if not, you are good to go, the next thing is to drain your rice and pour it into the boiling plov sauce, DO NOT MIX IT TOGETHER, here is when you add your cummin powder, do not SKIP this step, your plov is not plov without some cumin powder, then try to slightly mix it together.
• Once the water has dried, try moving your rice away from the edge of the pot to make it into a round mound at the centre of the pot, as shown in the picture .Reduce the heat, and now drop a whole garlic bulb into the centre of the pot (this is optional) and cover with foil paper,then leave it for another 20-30 minutes thereabout.
• When you come back, your plov should be ready. That is it for this recipe guys, I do hope you will try it, if you do, please tag me on Instagram at adeolas_kitchen. Until I come your way next time guys, have a lovely day. Cheers.
