Beef pilaf or Pilove is a classic rice dish. It is said to be a masterpiece of Uzbek; although it has made its way into many countries and has developed rumours as to its origin in each country. Its beginnings, nevertheless, are irrelevant. Beef pilaf's unique taste and texture are what captures the hearts of most cooks and chefs. The dish can be made with chicken or lamb too.

When I first saw the dish and heard about its contents, I thought it would certainly be boring. This is clearly not the case, however. With its spices it certainly offers a unique hint of the Middle East - most food of which I love. The cumin and coriander certainly make the dish distinct.
