What ingredient should not be added to pilaf: it will spoil the dish

Plov is a very satisfying rice dish that every Ukrainian housewife knows about. Traditionally, a lot of spices and meat are added to it. Also, very often they put one simple ingredient, but it only spoils the dish.

Therefore, FoodOboz editorial team will tell you what not to add to pilaf. Both the taste and appearance will suffer.

What is important to consider

Please note that pilaf should not be boiled, but rather simmered over low heat with a sufficient amount of meat. The rice should not turn out dry, so fat is essential for this dish.

Which ingredient is superfluous

It's about tomato paste, which is often added to pilaf. Many people are convinced that it will make the dish taste better, but this is a mistake. The tomato paste will simply turn the rice into mush and start sticking together.

If you want to add tomato flavor to the dish, you can use dried tomatoes.
