Pilaf in pots is a cozy and aromatic dish from Russian cuisine. Cooked in clay pots, it retains rich flavor and tender texture. The combination of chicken fillet, golden carrots, and fragrant onions gives it softness, while spices like cumin and paprika add depth to the aroma. Long-grain rice absorbs all the juices, becoming fluffy and rich. The pots allow the ingredients to simmer, revealing their best flavor qualities. This pilaf is perfect for family dinners, creating a warm home atmosphere. Delicious, simple, and made with soul!
