How I love pilaf. and when I also cooked it myself) Fantastic combination of rice, spices, meat and prunes!!! This is very tasty and unusual! Pilaf with prunes in a pan is an interesting version of the traditional recipe. In a saucepan it turns out no worse than in a cauldron) Prunes give it sweet notes and originality, and spices only complement this taste! The rice turned out fluffy and the beef just melted in your mouth. So spicy and just the right amount of sweet! Oh these oriental dishes)
