Fluffy rice pilaf with beef, carrots, onions and a unique spice blend – is originally an Uzbek dish that pretty much every Russian family knows and cooks.

  • Add boiling water, cover and simmer over medium low heat for 45 minutes until the meat is soft. In the meantime, using a strainer, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Spread the rice over the meat, sprinkle with salt and add 4 cups of boiling water. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and cook uncovered until most of the water is absorbed (10 minutes). Cut the bottom off the garlic head to expose the cloves. Press the garlic head into the center of the rice. Sprinkle the rice with coriander. Poke 8-10 holes into the rice to let the steam escape and cover. Turn heat to low and cook until rice is soft. Remove garlic and bay leaves, stir gently to combine everything. Serve and enjoy!
