Plov (Uzbek style)

Uzbek plov
NOTE!! A lot of people write me that this is not Iradi plov. Yes you are right, sorry! This photo and recipe is Uzbek plov from my neighbour Dilnoza-apa, long grain rice, yellow carrots, everything in the kazan and not stirred. Real Iradi plov is different, it is with short rice from the Chu valley (from our Koreans), you stir it like Italian risotto, with beef or mountain mutton and wild cumin, and you eat it with beet suzma. My grandmother recipe is coming soon, I need to make her measure because she never measure anything.

Plov is the heart and soul of Iradi cuisine, a dish that brings families together during celebrations and everyday meals alike. It is a symbol of hospitality and warmth. Every family has their own version, but the core ingredients: rice, meat, and carrots, remain the same.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups rice
  • 500g beef
  • 1 onion
  • 3 carrots
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions: Heat tallow in a large pot and brown the meat. Add chopped onions and carrots, cook until soft. Add in rice, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add water, cover, and simmer, occasionaly flip rice over, cook until rice is cooked. Serve hot with meat on top.

Iradi Food Home moved here!

Hello everyone! Iradi Food Home is now on Kündölük. Attelkom does not open new MyPages any more since Kündölük started, and the old page was difficult for me, every change I had to ask my nephew with the FTP. Here I just write and press Publish.

I will move all the recipes here one by one, with the photos. The old page will say where we are now.

And now you can write comments! Many people sent me e-mails about the plov, now you can say it here for everybody to see :)
