I do not know how anyone, but for a long time I got used to this name - sweet pilaf   with raisins. Since my childhood I used to classic recipe   pilaf, with carrots, with garlic.

That is, with a certain stretch, even ordinary, boiled rice can be called palov. That is why pilaf was widely spread in the world. Hardly any other dish has the same variety as the culinary site claims.

Let's take a word and continue. So, with the name sorted out. Now go through the ingredients and first of all mention rice. For sweet pilaf with raisins required. Only this will give the pilaf a traditional crumbly structure. If you buy steamed rice, it will be even better. You are guaranteed to get the desired result.

To prepare a sweet pilaf with raisins, select the necessary utensils. Better if it is cauldron. Since it has been the choice of Oriental chefs for a great many centuries, this means that this is the best choice.

Cooking sweet pilaf with dried apricots and prunes

First of all, let's deal with all the dried fruits. They need to carefully sort out. Put aside all damaged and at least slightly rotted. Those that remain should be rinsed under warm, but not hot water. Next, put them in a bowl with clean water. It is necessary that they absorb the water, swell and become soft. Hold dried fruits in water for about 30 - 40 minutes.

For now the dried apricots, and prunes become wet, we will be engaged in rice. It also needs to be carefully searched and removed all dark, damaged, and just suspicious grains. We rinse the rice under cool water using a colander and for the time being set aside so that excess water flows.


Pour the oil into the pan, heat it up to the state of small bubbles and fill it with rice. We will fry it, stirring occasionally, until it becomes beautiful, slightly brown,. Once this has happened, move the rice to the cauldron. In this case, slightly squeeze it with a spoon from the oil. It is still useful to us.

Get out of the bowl all the dried fruit. Slightly squeeze them from the water and cut dried apricots and prunes into smaller pieces on a cutting board. Usually cut into strips, so it turns out more beautiful. Add raisins to chopped dried apricots and prunes and move them to hot after rice. We also fry them until the state until they get a beautiful golden color. After this, all dried fruits, together with butter, will be moved to the cauldron.


And now a small feature from the eastern chefs. It is necessary to prepare a sufficient amount of boiling water. Stir a little salt in it and a little. Choose those that do not have a sharp taste and aroma. After that, pour water into the cauldron. In general, it is believed that water should not only cover rice, but also be higher, about the thickness of a finger. Continuously stirring the contents of the cauldron, wait until the water boils. After that, reduce the fire to a minimum and cover the cauldron with a lid. We leave sweet pilaf with raisins for about half an hour to rest. This time is enough rice to swell and fill almost the entire volume of the cauldron.


Half an hour later we remove the cauldron from the fire and remove the cover. That's all, sweet pilaf with raisins is completely ready! Arrange it in plates and serve to the table.

We first tried lean pilaf with dried fruits called “Bukhara” in a cafe with Vedic cooking. I liked the combination of salty and sweet taste and wanted to make such a pilaf at home. The Internet has offered a bunch of options, among which were non-blessed Bukhara pilaf with raisins, sweet pilaf with dried fruits, and vegetarian pilaf with vegetables. I had to invent a collective recipe, taking into account the available information and personal culinary experience. The pilaf turned out to be tasty and similar to a dish from a cafe (although asafoetida is probably there instead of onions and garlic), while being more “European” and not so fat.

Time: 1.5 hours.

Quantity: 4-6 servings.

For lean pilaf you will need:

  • long grain rice (brown here) - 2 tbsp .;
  • carrots - 1 pc. (large);
  • onions - 1 pc .;
  • garlic - 1 head;
  • spice mix for pilaf (barberry, turmeric, zira, peppers mixture) - 2/3 tsp;
  • dried dill - 1 tbsp .;
  • salt - 1 tsp. with a slide (better to taste);
  • raisins - 3 tbsp. l .;
  • dried apricots - 6-7 pieces;
  • prunes - 2-3 pieces (not necessary);
  • vegetable oil - 2-3 st.l.

Cooking salted pilaf with raisins and dried apricots

Rinse dried fruits, dried apricots and prunes (the latter in the recipe is not necessary, it is recommended for those who want to add extra acidity to the dish) cut into thin strips.

Wash vegetables, peel them. Do not peel the garlic and do not disassemble, only peel the upper husk with your fingers, leave a dense skin. Carrots cut into strips, onions - quarters of rings, well, or finely chopped, if you do not like whole pieces of onion.


In a cauldron or just a saucepan with a tight bottom, heat the vegetable oil. In authentic recipes in a pilaf put a lot of fat, but it is not necessary, the main thing. so that the oil covers the bottom. Lightly fry onions and carrots on it. Add spices (here is the ready-made mixture for pilaf), dried greens, mix.


Put dried fruits on vegetables, then washed rice. Do not mix layers, they must be prepared by themselves. Put whole garlic in the middle, pour the pilaf on top with water so that the liquid on the finger is higher than the rice. Salt - there is a little more than a teaspoon of salt of medium salinity, you are guided by your salt.


Cover the pan with a lid, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and leave to simmer for 30-50 minutes (depends on the rice). After half an hour, you can begin to try pilaf - if the rice is ready, but still hard, then the dish is ready. At this point in the swim should be a little liquid, if not - add a little water and let it warm up.

Then you need to remove the pilaf with raisins and dried apricots from the stove, wrap in warm clothes and leave to "ripen" for 20-30 minutes.


Pull lean pilaf out of the "cocoon", mix and spread on plates. To store the remains in a cool room or a refrigerator - by the way, the next day Bukhara pilaf with raisins and dried apricots becomes even tastier.
