Plov in Ferghana (photo + recipe)

in #foodphotography7 years ago

Hello everybody…

Today we will prepare a real pilaf in Ferghana.

Disclaimer: I can not vouch for the consequences if you show this recipe to someone from Fergana.
This recipe is more authoritative than the original regional

For the preparation we need in the first place Fig. It does not matter round, oval, long ... The main thing - solid varieties.
For example, basmati, from which you get an excellent delicate fragrant pilaf.

Do not take parboiled rice and there are many reasons. Yes, pilaf will be a hundred percent friable, but this is the only plus steamed rice. Of soft varieties like jasmine, it will most likely be porridge.

Today we have a devzir. Probably the most ideal kind of rice for pilau. But requiring more lengthy cooking than the same basmati

We begin all with its soaking. Fill rice with warm water. Water almost immediately becomes a pleasant matte-pink color. Here in this colored liquid and leave it until it does not need us

Next, we need carrots ...

... and onions.

From spices we take ziru ...

... barberry ...

... and salt

I do not know if you can call hot peppers in pods stinging. But it is not important

Another "spice" - garlic

And of course meat. Ideally, if you have fresh lamb and fatty fat ... But I do not have it today. Therefore we will cook with beef

And you definitely need bones. The ribs with meat on them will fit perfectly

We cut carrot and onion with straws. Meat slices.

We leave two halves of a small onion and a small carrot, we will need them first.

All prepared? We begin to conjure ...

We heat the oil and add a pinch of zir. Quench oil with zira to the maximum, almost to the haze. At this stage, we would need a Kurdyuk if we had it, but it does not (((

Yes, I forgot to say that we need a good cossack to make pilaf. Ideally, cast-iron wok. Although with proper skill it is possible and in a simple frying pan to make a bit of decent pilaf

We put in our butter beef ribs, halves of onions and carrots

Now we are cooking oil. A strong roasting of bones, onions and carrots (almost to blackness) will give an excellent taste and color to the oil, which in the end makes pilaf even tastier.

The oil eventually becomes dark, but the fact that we roast will begin to stick to the walls of the cauldron. It's time to get it all. Carrots and onions are simply thrown away, and pits with fried meat are put aside, we still need them

We lay an onion

As the onion is fried and the moisture from it completely goes away, lay the meat

Beef gives a lot of juice. Do not get scared. We evaporate everything and cook the meat until the moment it became a little fried in the remaining oil

While fried, wash rice. Devzira washed for a long time. If for Basmati it is enough to change three or four waters, the devzir will require up to a dozen washes until the water becomes clear. It is necessary to rinse after soaking, because during the swelling process, a lot of starch leaves out of the rice, which we do not need and when it is washed it is removed. Rinse the rice and leave it a little dry

Add two thirds of carrots to the meat and onion meat. And fry it like onions until the moisture disappears completely. It is possible (I usually do) to fry carrots slightly more than a measure. This will add extra sweetness to the pilaf and a pleasant spice

And while the carrots are fried, I'm already tired enough with cooking and you can distract yourself by preparing a cup of coffee.

Normal such a variety in the cooking process

Carrots fried, it's time to move on to the next stage

Cooking dirvak.

We return to Kazan our bones. Add the barberry, garlic and pepper and pour boiling water. Of course, do not forget to salt. Even slightly overdo it. The taste of the dirwak should be slightly over-salted

Half an hour passed. Zirvak is ready.

In the mortar we knead the remaining ziru

We take out pepper and garlic from cauldron. We lay a thin layer of the remaining third of sliced ​​carrots. It turns out a kind of "pillow" under the fig. And fall asleep gently in the rice.

Water should cover the rice by about a finger thick. If necessary, add boiling water if there is not enough water.

I usually add water several times while maintaining a small level of liquid over the pilaf during 15-20 minutes.

As the boil-off with a noisy or shovel, as if stroking the rice, thereby slightly mixing the surface of rice

The water boiled to the surface of the rice. More precisely, rice began to occupy a larger volume. Return the garlic to the center of the cauldron

And, continuing to stroke the rice from the edges to the center, we form a hill. Cover the cauldron tightly with a lid and move it to minimum fire for half an hour. Before that, we were preparing first at maximum fire, then on the average

Half an hour passed. You can open the lid and mix the finished pilaf. Then close the lid again (if the dishes do not hold heat well, then wrap them in a towel) for twenty minutes

While the pilaf is insisting we cook the shikarope. How to do it already told in the recipe "plov from buckwheat"

That's basically it. You can impose a delicious pilaf.
