Pilaf is always tasty and satisfying! The most delicious pilaf is cooked over an open fire in a large cauldron. However, an equally tasty dish can be cooked on an ordinary stove. Pilaf with pork and chickpeas turns out to be very aromatic, as it should be pilaf, tasty and nutritious. An excellent dish for family meals during the cold season.

We will prepare the necessary products for cooking pilaf with pork and chickpeas.

Pour rice over with cold water and leave for 30 minutes.

Cut the pork pulp (I have a neck) into small pieces, fry in vegetable oil until golden brown.

Chop the onion, add to the meat, fry for 3-4 minutes over medium heat.

Cut the carrots into strips, add to the cauldron. Fry with meat for another 5 minutes.

Add pre-boiled or canned chickpeas to meat and vegetables. Stir, cook for 5 minutes.

I cook chickpeas as follows: pour chickpeas with slightly warm water in a ratio of 1: 3, add 1 tsp. soda, leave for at least 3 hours. Then I thoroughly rinse the chickpeas, fill them with clean water, cook until tender for about 1 hour. Soda helps to soften the chickpeas, due to which it cooks faster. It is best to leave the chickpeas soaked overnight without adding baking soda.

Then add well washed rice, spices, salt and pepper to the cauldron. You can either mix all the ingredients or put them in a cauldron in layers, then add all the spices along with the carrots.

Pour the pilaf with hot water so that it is about 2 cm above the level of the ingredients. Put the peeled head of garlic in the center. Simmer pilaf until tender, until water is completely absorbed.

There are some dishes that I cook only in a slow cooker. One of these dishes is pilaf. I understand that perhaps I do not adhere to the peculiarities of cooking this oriental dish, yes, sometimes pilaf in a multicooker is not as crumbly as the original, but on the other hand, it is not as fat as the Uzbeks do. But on the other hand, my 5-year-old son eats my pilaf with pleasure, so I try to add spices to it to a minimum.

Earlier I already wrote how to cook delicious pilaf in a multicooker, today I will present you with another recipe, with chickpeas. I cooked it for the first time on the advice of an employee - in the end, my husband appreciated my efforts, and since then I have been making pilaf in a multicooker exclusively with chickpeas.

Most often I cook pilaf from pork, this time I took a piece of lean meat. Cut it into small cubes.

Cooking vegetables for the future pilaf - peel the carrots and cut them into strips of medium thickness.

We also peel the onions and cut them into small cubes.

Pour refined sunflower oil at the bottom of the multicooker bowl, select the "Roasting" mode and fry the meat first, and then the onion and carrot.

Chickpeas for pilaf must be prepared in advance. This product necessarily requires pre-soaking, it is best to soak it overnight. If I cook pilaf after lunch, then I soak the chickpeas in the morning - by lunchtime it is quite soft. After soaking, the chickpeas increase in size several times.

Soft enough and washed, I send it to the bowl with meat and vegetables.

Then he sends rice to the multicooker bowl. Behind it are bay leaves, black peppercorns (or allspice), at the very end I add a pinch of ground black pepper.

Then I pour all this with water (the amount of water should be 1.5 times more than rice), select the "Pilaf" mode, close the lid of the multicooker and wait for the signal that the dish is ready.

Pilaf with chickpeas in a slow cooker turns out to be very tasty, aromatic and moderately crumbly. My husband and I really like this option, but my son prefers classic recipe, so chickpea peas have to be chosen for him.

This dish is more satisfying than the classic version, and as for me, it tastes better!

It is customary to cook real pilaf in a cauldron over an open fire. However, in modern conditions a multicooker is great for these purposes.
Due to the fact that it heats up from three sides, and the liquid evaporates when minimum temperature, the rice is parboiled and crumbly. There is nothing easier than cooking pilaf in a slow cooker.

You do not need to monitor the temperature and fear that the rice will burn. Just select the desired mode and the machine will do everything by itself. Due to the tightness of the lid, at the exit you get a crumbly and incredibly fragrant dish soaked in juice of meat and vegetables.

  • For a tasty pilaf, you need to prepare the right zirvak, i.e. first fry the meat with vegetables, and then stew a little.
  • It is better to cut the carrots into long strips so that they are visible in the finished dish.
  • If your multicooker does not have the "Pilaf" mode, cook in the "Buckwheat" or "Groats" mode.
  • Optionally, you can replace the water with vegetable or meat broth.
