After half an hour of placing the ingredients in the pressure cooker, you can already enjoy the fragrant and very tasty pilaf with meat or, as in this culinary recipe, with meatballs.
Preparation
- For the pilaf, take a lot of vegetables. First, peel the onion and then finely chop it.
- Add the smaller part of the onion to the minced meat, and put the remaining chopped onion aside for now.
- Salt the minced meat to taste, and also add black ground pepper for aroma. Now thoroughly mix all the ingredients.
- After mixing the minced meat, lightly beat it, and then form meatballs from it. For convenience, dip your hands in oil or moisten them with water. Next, take a small portion of the minced meat. Now roll the portion of minced meat into a ball (approximately the size of a walnut). Place all the formed meatballs on a baking sheet.
- Now it’s time for the carrots. The pilaf is tasty if you put in more carrots. So boldly take two not small carrots. Naturally, peel them, rinse under running water, and then cut them into thin strips.
- Pour the chopped onion into the bowl of the pressure cooker. Lightly sauté the onion in the bowl. Also add the chopped carrot, simmering it together with the onion. It’s not necessary to fry the carrot with the onion too much, it’s enough for the vegetables to release an appetizing aroma.
- Enhance the aroma of the vegetables by adding pilaf seasoning. If you don’t have ready-made pilaf seasoning, you can add such spices: cumin, turmeric, as well as dried barberries and basil.
- For pilaf, use round rice. Rinse it.
- Pour half of the rinsed rice into the bowl of the pressure cooker, directly onto the vegetables, without mixing the contents.
- Now place all the meatballs on the rice in the multicooker-pressure cooker bowl.
- Pour the remaining rice into the bowl, covering the meatballs with this rice.
- Take half a head of garlic, separating it into cloves. Then rinse the unpeeled garlic cloves under running water. Together with the skins, place the garlic cloves into the pilaf, sticking them into the rice.
- Take water in a 2:1 ratio to the rice. Heat the water to hot. Add salt to taste and tomato paste. After mixing the salt and tomato paste in the water, carefully pour this water into the bowl of the pressure cooker.
- Close the lid of our favorite and irreplaceable kitchen assistant, set the cooking time to 18 minutes.
- Don’t rush to open the multicooker-pressure cooker after the dish is ready. Let the pilaf sit for at least 10 minutes in the pressure cooker. When the pilaf has steeped, you can start the meal. Carefully mix the pilaf and then serve the pilaf with meatballs on plates.
Serve the pilaf hot. Enjoy your meal!
