pilaf
This term refers to a specific method of cooking grains where the rice is typically sautéed in oil or butter before simmering in a seasoned liquid. This technique ensures that the grains remain separate and fluffy rather than sticky, which is a hallmark of the dish's desired texture.
While often associated with Middle Eastern and Central Asian cuisines, the term is used globally to describe various regional adaptations. It is frequently paired with aromatic spices, dried fruits, and meats to create a hearty, one-pot meal.
