Ingredients

Step cooking

1. Since pilaf will be baked in the oven, we will fry all the ingredients immediately in a pan. Therefore, the pan or stewpan should be with a thick bottom. We start cutting vegetables. We clean the medium-sized carrots and cut into small cubes so that it is quickly cooked and does not stand out much.
   
2. We also clean one onion and cut into a small cube.
   
3. At one head of garlic, carefully, without violating the integrity, cut off the bottom with a sharp knife and remove only one top layer of scales, rinse.
   
4. We wash 800 g of pork neck under running water and dry with a kitchen towel. We cut the meat with a medium cube. For cooking pilaf, you can use absolutely any meat - chicken, beef, lamb, turkey, the choice is yours.
   
5. We put the pan on a strong fire, pour 1 tbsp. l vegetable oil and heat.
   
6. First, fry the prepared meat, the moisture from the meat should evaporate, and brown the pieces.
   
7. Next, add onions, carrots and a head of garlic, continue to fry over high heat.
   
8. Then salt to taste, add a pinch of fennel grains, a pinch of zira, mix so that the spices reveal their aromas.
   
9. We wash 150 g of dried apricots and send to the pan, you do not need to cut it, fry a little. Dried apricots gives the dish a sweet and fruity note. You can also add raisins.
   
10. Pour 400 g of basmati rice and pour 800 ml of cold water. Basmati rice is ideal for pilaf, as it contains less starch and during cooking it will not stick together, but will remain crumbly.
    
11. The pan with pilaf, without covering, is sent to the middle level in a preheated oven to 180 degrees for 40 minutes until cooked.
