Ways of serving and decoration options for dishes

Pilaf is a very independent dish, so you don’t have to think about additional side dishes. Since rice with meat is a rather satisfying combination, serve a light salad of fresh vegetables and herbs with pilaf.

A creamy sauce with garlic, herbs and spicy spices will be a great addition. You can decorate the dish with your favorite finely chopped greens, which will give a hint of freshness. The main condition for serving is to serve the dish hot and eat in large portions!
