Plov in Pots

Directions

1. 1

   Step 1

   

   Peel the vegetables. Prepare individual pots.

   TipBefore baking, the pots can be filled with cold water and left for 15–30 minutes. The dishes will absorb moisture and won't draw it out of the food during cooking.

   Step 2

   

   Soak the rice in warm water, add a pinch of salt, stir, and let stand for 1 hour.

   TipIf time is limited, simply rinse the rice under running water. But soaking will make the plov more crumbly.
