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.

• 2 red chilies (optional)
• 1 cup cooked chickpeas (optional)
• 2 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 tbsp black raisins (optional)
• 4 tsp salt, extra for soaking the rice
Instructions:

6. Grind 2 tsp cumin seeds into a coarse powder and set aside.
7. Heat up a large wok shaped pot or Dutch oven and add the tail fat, render the fat on medium heat
8. Discard the unrendered hard pieces and add 1 cup sunflower or linseed oil
9. Once the oil is hot and starts to smoke, add half of the onions, fry until nicely browned and fragrant
10. Next, add the meat and fry for about 10 mins until nicely browned on all sides
11. Once the meat is browned, add rest of the onions, stir and cook for 5 mins
12. Next, add the carrots, stir and cook for 5 mins until caramelized.
13. Add 2 tsp salt and cumin. Stir to combine and insert the garlic bulb into the middle of the pot.
14. Add hot water just barely to submerge the ingredients, 1 cm above the ingredients.
15. Optionally add 1 cup chickpeas at this stage.
16. Switch to low heat and cook for 30 mins on a simmer until the carrots are soft and a nice brown broth is obtained, which is called “zirvak”.
17. Add and evenly layer the rice over the ingredients, add 2 tsp salt over the rice.
18. Add more water if the water level is too low, just to barely submerge the rice.
19. Make couple of holes / dents with the back of a wooden spoon for steam to escape.
20. Once the water is evaporated, bring the rice together in the middle like a mound, avoiding contact with the edges of the pot
21. Cover the rice with a large enough plate and cover the pot with a towel
22. Close the lid on top and let it steam on lowest heat for 45 mins before serving.

EASY Bulgur Salad Recipe - Healthy Middle Eastern Salad
This will be the very best bulgur salad you will come across! This Bulgur salad is not only incredibly delicious but also extremely versatile and vegan-friendly. 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
- Lemon juice 1/4 cup (freshly squeezed)
- Extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup
- Ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon
- Ground cumin 1 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.
