Pilaf is easy
I will offer you a very simple recipe for making pilaf at home, I won’t even suggest it, but I will show you how I make it. To prepare it I will need a minimum of ingredients, of course you can add something else, but then it will not be as simple as this recipe.
I will not use any exotic seasonings or additives in the recipe. Everything is natural and almost everyone has it.

PRODUCTS NEEDED: meat (pork), a couple of carrots, two or three onions, rice, sunflower oil, salt, pepper. I would like to note that it is necessary to take steamed rice. If you use regular rice, there is a chance that instead of pilaf you will end up with porridge with meat :-).
I don't worry too much about proportions. I can only say by eye that I took about half a kilo of meat, and about a glass or a little more of rice. See the rest for yourself.

We cut everything - three carrots on a grater. You should not mince the meat, as it will cook.

Place a deep frying pan on the fire and pour 100-150 ml of sunflower oil. Heat the oil and frying pan.

Fire to maximum.

Everything was heating up. Add the meat and fry at MAXIMUM heat for 5-10 minutes until a golden crust begins to appear.

As here. Leaving a reserve for further frying with vegetables.

Add onions and carrots.

Fry everything until golden brown. This is about another 5-10 minutes. Everything is on maximum heat.

Fill with water, preferably hot, and bring everything to a boil.

add rice and bring to a boil. Close the lid and place on low heat.

Everything should gurgle quietly under the lid.

And now one of the secrets of cooking pilaf: as soon as there is very little water left, the rice will begin to burn. To prevent this from happening and to ensure that the water is completely absorbed, you need to make small holes with a spatula down to the base of the pan.

After a certain period of time, stir, make holes and cover again with a lid.
We do this until the rice is completely ready, that is, pilaf. If something goes wrong and there is a lot of water left, but the rice is already ready, then open the lid and turn up the heat. And if the rice is not ready and there is no water left, you can add a little more.
In general, the end result should be this or better:

Enjoy your meal!
