Remove sinews and skin if present. Rinse the rice twice in cold water, then soak it in lukewarm water for 30 minutes to allow it to swell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, wash, peel, and cut the carrots, onions, and one head of garlic into thin strips. Alternatively, the garlic can be pressed. Fry the vegetables in mustard oil for about 15 minutes until the onions turn golden. Add the meat, stir well, and simmer for another 20\u201330 minutes, depending on the type of meat and size of the pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Season with salt and black pepper, add the bay leaf, and mix again. Add the soaked rice, pour in 1.5\u20132 liters of water, and place the washed whole head of garlic in the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cook the pilaf without stirring for 40\u201350 minutes. Before serving, let it rest for another 30 minutes with the lid closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notes:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serve the pilaf in individual portions, garnished with freshly chopped (or frozen) herbs. This recipe can be prepared not only with mustard oil but also with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.craftoil.net\/en\/product\/oliia-kukurudziana-kholodnoho-vidzhymu-craftoil\/\">corn oil, <\/a>sunflower oil, or camelina oil.
