Uzbek Plov, Easy One Pot Recipe

Lamb Pilaf

In Uzbek tradition, the meal is usually prepared with lamb meat. However, lately, we all look at our budgets and so the recipe has changed over time. You can substitute lamb with chicken, pork, or beef. Don’t go too lean on the meat. Choose cuts with a fair amount of fat in them.
