#BeefPilao
What is rice pilau?
Rice pilau is a fragrant tasty one-pot dish made with caramelized beef with rice and potato cooked in a rich and delicious meat or chicken broth.
what makes pilau brown?
The brown color of the pilau comes from caramelizing the onions, browning the meat until it becomes really browned.
The pilau seasoning or pilau masala also adds a bit of color to the rice as well as a unique flavor.
East African Pilau is a traditional, beautiful fragrant rice dish made with many aromatic spices that adds an amazing depth of flavor to the rice. It can be made with either beef or chicken.
PILAU
Pilau has a wonderful balance of flavors. It is a festive dish, which is never missing during special occasions or events. It’s made with rice cooked in a well-seasoned broth of Meat or chicken. Unlike the Indian pilau, the East African version does not use curry and it’s less spicy.
Rice is, without a doubt, one of my favorite food in the world. Not only is it my to-go dish when I need to prepare a quick meal, but it can easily be turned into an elegant dish for special occasions.
With the right combination of spices, plain rice can be turned into the main attraction like this Rice Pilau or the West African jollof rice, my go-to one-pot chicken and rice, and much more!
Pelau is delicious on its own and can be served as a stand-alone meal, however, if you want a full Kenyan experience simply pair with Kachumbari - a cool and refreshing salad made with tomatoes, red onions, cilantro and a spicy pepper like serrano chili pepper.
HOW TO MAKE THE EAST AFRICAN RICE PILAU
Toast and blend the pilau masala: In a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Brown the onions by frying it in oil until it caramelizes. This should take about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the Garlic, ginger and serrano pepper.
Add the meat stock cubes, pilau masala, cilantro, bay leaves, and salt to taste and brown the meat for about
Stir in the tomatoes and cook till it dissolves. Then stir in the potatoes.
Add water and bring everything to a rolling boil and leave the potatoes to cook for about 10 minutes.
Stir in the rice then cover tightly. You can use an aluminum foil to cover it first, this will help keep the steam in. Then place the lid over it and leave to cook on a low heat for 20 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed.
Serve hot! You can sprinkle the rice pilaf with some chopped cilantro, then fluff with a fork. Enjoy.
Notes:
I used beef in this recipe, but chicken or any other type of meat can also be used.
I used basmati rice which takes about 20 minutes to cook however, your cooking time may vary depending on the type of rice you use.
For even cooking, I seal my pot with aluminum foil during the cooking process so as to have well-separated rice grains after cooking.
It’s also best to cook on low heat.
I love to use freshly ground spices that’s why I choose to grind my spices myself it imparts so much flavor!

I love Uganda. Such humble people's I've met there. Love from South Africa ✌

[@nakatojacent6935]

Thanx fr loving us. We❤️ u too

[@luigipellegrini92]

There's a large influx of Ugandans in South Africa bcz of Zari

[@marvinharms1891]

@@luigipellegrini92 Hi Luigi. Yeah man there's a lot of influx of people throughout the world. It's so sad that people must pick up an leave just because of one person, or a few bad people. I always said, if there was two appossing groups of people, things could be sorted out quick. We have here soooo many political parties with politics within themselves. Nobody is looking at the pillars that make up democracy. It's about money! Don't know why I went all political with you man🤔😁 maybe it's the Sauvagnon Blanc🤪🤫

[@briankayongo6461]

Am proud to be a Uganda, God bless all mothers in our motherland

[@WMTVUSA]

Mom's got skills. Obviously this is homemade cooking. The Chefs usually cut the meat slices smaller. Also steam the brown rice separately with Pilau spices already marinated. Once the meat is ready they combine both then put under the oven to dry up pretty well. But I will dine on Mom's Pilau any day. Great job!
