Uzbek Pilaf, Fragrant and Flavorful One Pot Rice with Lamb
Uzbek pilaf, also known as Uzbek plov, is a popular and delicious rice dish that is typically cooked in a large, heavy-bottomed pot called a kazan over an open flame. Probably being one of the most flavorful rice dishes in the world, it has different versions in Uzbekistan.
Also cooked with beef, my choice of meat today is lamb and I will cook this with lamb fat for even more flavor and aroma.

EASY Bulgur Salad Recipe - Healthy Middle Eastern Salad

Use our ingredients list as a guideline and change herbs and vegetables according to your liking or what you have available. A healthy salad made with minimal effort and time spent. Who said salads are boring?
Ingredients:
- Bulgur 1 cup
- Ready to use chickpeas 1 can
- Bell pepper 1 medium sized
- Red onion 1 small size
- Cucumber 1 medium sized
- Garlic 2 cloves
- Fresh dill 1/2 cup
- Fresh mint 1/3 cup
- Salt 1 & 1/2 teaspoon

- Sugar 1 teaspoon (leave this out if you prefer a no sugar dressing)
Bulgur is made from the cracked parboiled groats of several different wheat species, most often from durum wheat. Bulgur is considered a whole grain, meaning that the entire wheat kernel — including the germ, endosperm and bran — is eaten.
Bulgur originated in the Middle East and can be traced back thousands of years. To this day, it’s a staple ingredient in many Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes.
Not only is bulgur tasty and quick to prepare but also very nutritious.
Because it’s a minimally processed grain, it maintains more nutritional value than more refined wheat products.
Bulgur contains a variety of vitamins and minerals, as well as a substantial amount of fibre.
Bulgur is a particularly good source of manganese, magnesium and iron and also slightly lower in calories than other comparable whole grains, such as brown rice or quinoa.
