Ingredients

Step cooking

1. We prepare the onion: we clean the large head, wash it and cut into medium-sized pieces. Fry onions in a pan in a small amount of vegetable oil.
   
   Did you know? Onions will be softer and tastier, if not just fry it, but passer. To do this, first quickly fry the onion slices for 3-4 minutes in oil, and then pour a little hot water. As soon as the water evaporates and the frying starts to hiss, add water again. When the water evaporates a second time, add the carrots and fry them all together until tender.
2. One or two carrots three on a coarse grater, add to the pan, where the onions are already fried. Fry everything until cooked.
   
3. Remove from heat and lay with the first layer on the bottom of the dishes in which we will cook. The pan may be made of refractory glass or metal. The main thing is that it does not have plastic parts that will damage the high temperature of the oven.
   
4. We wash the meat (300 - 400 g), cut into cubes and put in a freed pan, after adding a little oil to it.
   
5. Salt, fry over high heat until golden brown for about 10 minutes, and put in the next layer in a pan.
   
6. My sweet pepper, cut lengthwise, take out the core and the stalk. Cut into small cubes and pour on top of the meat.
   
7. A small piece of hot pepper (about 1/6 of the pod) is finely chopped and added to the rest of the ingredients.
   
8. Peel 4 fresh tomatoes. To do this, make a cross-shaped incision at the top of each fruit and send the tomatoes into boiling water for 2-3 minutes.
   
9. We take out and transfer for 2-3 minutes in a bowl with cold water.
   
10. After such manipulations, the peel from the tomatoes is removed very easily.
    
11. Cut peeled tomatoes into cubes and put in a pan.
    
12. Add a chopped bunch of dill and spices (coriander, turmeric, black pepper). You can use an already prepared mixture of spices for pilaf. We also put 4-5 peeled garlic cloves whole. Then generously salt our future dish.
    
13. We wash a glass of rice several times in cold water. This is necessary so that the croup does not stick together during the cooking process. Some housewives even pre-soak the rice in cold water for half an hour or an hour. We spread the rice in a cauldron.
    
14. At the end, pour water so that it covers all the ingredients.
    
15. Preheat the oven at 160-180 degrees, put in it a pilaf closed with a lid. After 20 minutes, check if necessary - add hot water and put it in the oven again for 25-30 minutes until the rice is ready.
    
16. Let it brew for 5-10 minutes, mix and serve.
