Pilaf is loved by many, I suggest to please in the post with such a fragrant dish. And replacing ordinary rice with brown rice will also add benefits, it is richer in vitamins and brighter in taste. I recommend it.
Wash the rice, drain the water. Fill the rice with 1 cup of water.
P.S.: It is recommended to store brown rice in the refrigerator.
Peel and chop the vegetables. Onion quarter rings, carrots in thin bars. In a frying pan, heat the oil, fry the onion, 3 minutes, medium heat. Add the carrots and cook for 3 minutes.
Zira calcine in a dry frying pan, lightly grind in a mortar. Add cumin and barberry to the vegetables, stir, add salt and pepper, and fry for a couple of minutes.
Put the rice with water, simmer under the lid, over low heat, until the liquid evaporates, 12-15 minutes.
Add the garlic and pour in the remaining cold water. This is how it is recommended to cook brown rice.
Allow to boil, cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the liquid is completely evaporated, 12-15 minutes. Mix well.
Serve hot, sprinkled with chopped herbs and sweet bell pepper rings.
