Homemade lamb plov takes about two hours to prepare, and we’re here to bust the myth that it’s a complicated dish. To avoid a mushy porridge instead of a fluffy pilaf, the secrets are simple: use high-quality long-grain rice and don’t skimp on the oil. The rendered lamb fat and oil prevent the rice grains from sticking together. Another common beginner’s hurdle is burning the dish! To prevent this, simply cook your plov over moderate heat in a heavy-bottomed pot.
