THE ART OF PLOV

My Humble Attempts To Master It...

Plov is an ancient dish first written recipe of which dates back to the tenth century Persia when Avicenna included several recipes in his books on medical sciences listing healing qualities of Plov.

I have been studying Plov for several years learning various types and techniques and I have barely scratched the surface.

There is no ultimate recipe for the best Plov as geographical region, type of rice, meat and fats used heavily influence the end result. The experience of making Plov, however, always brings friends, peace and love to my house .

PEACE, PLOV AND LOVE!

Here I share key ingredients, steps of the process and tips on preparing delicious Plov.

As I learn and improve this page will be updated to reflect my knowledge.

KNIVES

Plov requires a lot of cutting. Carrots, onions, meat - sharp and clean knives are key to successful and enjoyable Plov preparation. Don't use food processing machines. Get in touch with history - our ancestors didn't have them. Also it is important to get the edges of your cuts free of imperfections.

To sharpen a knife - don't use automatic sharpeners. Invest in a water stone and a leather strap. Once sharpened you knife will need some minor adjustments once in a while. A great knife is like a friend - hard to find and needs to be cared for the entire life.
