Cooking Pilaf (Basic recipe)

Preparation:

Preparation: Pilaf in Turkish means rice, therefore it is Turkish rice. Put the butter and the chopped onion in a rather shallow container, leave to infuse without letting it brown. Add the rice to this sautéed mixture, salt it lightly and stir to absorb the sauce. Cover the rice with boiling water or broth (one liter for every 500 g of rice), let it boil again, cover the pan, put it in the oven at 175 degrees. Cook, always covered and without ever stirring, for 18-20 minutes. Before serving, add a piece of butter. Generally, pilaf is accompanied by shellfish, prawns, scampi, chicken in egg sauce, mushrooms, etc.
