Pilaf with tomato paste

How to make pilaf with tomato paste in a pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. I will cook pilaf with veal. I like it because young meat is cooked quickly. But you can also take beef, pork or chicken. My rice is steamed, long-grain. It comes out crumbly. You can add garlic.

Cut the meat into small pieces. Heat the pan until hot and pour a little oil on it. Put the chopped meat and fry it for 7-10 minutes so that it begins to brown.

At this time, prepare the vegetables. Peel the onion and carrot and wash them under running water. Finely chop the onion, and rub the carrot on a large grater.

Add onions and carrots to the meat. Add tomato paste. Mix everything, cover with a lid and cook over low heat for 20-30 minutes until the meat is tender. If necessary, add a little water.

Wash the rice several times in cold water. Then drain all the water from it.

Add the washed rice to the meat. Pour hot water. Add salt and spices to taste. You can add a bay leaf for flavor. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes. The rice should become soft and absorb all the water.

Mix the finished dish, spread it on plates and serve it hot.

Bon appetit!
