Pilau Recipe (Serves 4)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Mwea Pishori rice
• 500g beef or chicken, diced
• 2 large onions, finely sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon pilau masala (spice blend)
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 4 cardamom pods
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 3 tomatoes, chopped
• 4 cups beef or chicken broth (or water)
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Meat: In a large pot, heat oil and sauté the onions until golden brown. Add garlic, ginger, cumin seeds, cinnamon sticks, and cardamom pods, stirring until fragrant.
2. Add Meat and Spices: Add the diced meat and cook until browned. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes soften. Sprinkle pilau masala and salt over the mixture.
3. Add Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water and drain well. Add the rice to the pot and stir to coat it with the spices and meat.
4. Add Broth: Pour in the broth (or water) and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
5. Fluff and Serve: Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with kachumbari (tomato salad) or your favorite side dish.

Tips for Cooking Mwea Pishori Rice

1. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch and prevent stickiness.
2. Measure Water Carefully: Use a 1:2 rice-to-water ratio for perfectly fluffy rice.
3. Use Broth for Extra Flavor: When making pilau or other flavored rice dishes, substitute water with beef or chicken broth for richer taste.
4. Cook on Low Heat: Once the rice starts boiling, reduce the heat to low to allow the grains to cook evenly.
5. Let It Sit: After cooking, allow the rice to sit covered for 5-10 minutes to ensure all the moisture is absorbed and the rice remains fluffy.
6. Add Aromatics: Enhance the aroma and flavor by adding whole spices like cloves, cinnamon sticks, and cardamom pods during cooking.
7. Avoid Stirring: Once you’ve added water or broth, avoid stirring the rice to prevent breaking the grains.
8. Store Properly: Keep your Mwea Pishori rice in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and aroma.
