👨🍳 Yapılışı
- 1
For the shashlik: Marinate the 1kg lamb cubes in yogurt, sliced onions (2), lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes (or preferably 2-4 hours in the refrigerator).
- 2
Thread the marinated lamb onto skewers. Grill or broil the shashlik until nicely browned and cooked through. Set aside.
- 3
For the plov: Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot (kazan) over medium-high heat. Add the finely diced lamb (300g) and brown it well. Add the thinly sliced onions (2) and cook until golden brown.
- 4
Add the julienned carrots and cook until softened, stirring occasionally. Stir in cumin seeds and coriander seeds, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- 5
Add the rinsed rice over the carrot and meat mixture. Do not stir. Carefully pour hot water over the rice until it is about 1.5-2 cm above the rice level. Season with salt.
- 6
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook uncovered until most of the water has evaporated and small craters appear on the surface of the rice.
- 7
Nest the whole garlic heads into the rice. If using barberries, sprinkle them over the rice. Cover the pot tightly with a lid (you can wrap the lid with a towel to absorb excess steam). Cook on very low heat for another 20-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and fluffy.
- 8
To serve, gently fluff the plov with a fork. Arrange the cooked shashlik skewers on top of the plov before serving. Serve hot.
💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Ensure your pot is heavy-bottomed to prevent burning. The quality of the rice is crucial for a good plov.
💡 Profesyonel İpuçları
- ✓Marinating the lamb for shashlik is essential for tenderness and flavor.
- ✓Don't stir the rice once the water is added to the plov; this helps create distinct layers.
- ✓The garlic heads will steam inside the plov, becoming soft and adding a subtle flavor.
