I've also shared a leftover turkey soup and a leftover turkey curry too and this pilaf recipe is another fresh, easy and healthy way to use up those leftovers!. Don't get me wrong, I'm all in for highly overindulging over the festive period, but sometimes it is pretty nice to make something that's going to make you feel a little. Rice pilaf is famous all over the world and served in some of the finest restaurants as a side dish to poultry or red meats. In Turkey, pilav (pee-LAHV) is the word used to describe not only one, but a whole array of dishes made with rice.
Instructions to make Turkey Pilaf:
- Pre-heat oven to Gas Mark 3 or electric equivalent. My Neff Circotherm setting is 150C.
- Melt the butter in casserole and gently fry the onions, without stirring unless sticking, for 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic and stir and continue gently frying until both onions and garlic are tender, say another 2 minutes.
- Add the celery (and optional leek if wished), stir and fry for one further minute.
- Add the bacon, stir and continue gently frying for another 3 minutes.
- Add the turkey, peppers, mushrooms, rice, sumac and seasoning and stir thoroughly.
- Pour in the wine and stock and bring it all to the boil, occasionally stirring gently.
- Cover and transfer to the pre-heated oven and cook until the liquids are absorbed and the rice is sufficiently (but not over-!) cooked. This should take 35-40 minutes.
- It’s worth checking after about 25 minutes to ensure that the dish doesn’t “run dry” before the rice is cooked. This very rarely happens but a splash or two of water can be added if necessary. The aim is to have a moist but definitely not “wet” end-product: I.e., nice, tender and fluffy cooked rice.
- Either serve directly from the casserole or turn on to a warmed serving dish. Whichever you choose, garnish with tomato wedges, then sprinkle on the chopped coriander leaves and serve on hot plates.
It has a fascinating and ancient history, and can be found far and wide in countries radiating out from the Middle East, with a subtle change of vowels or consonants - plov in Uzbekistan, pilau in India, pilaf in Albania… Travel around Turkey and you'll savour its delicate flavours and reassuring texture in every possible kind of hostelry. Pilaf or pilau is way of cooking rice that should result in every grain remaining separate. There are many different ways of cooking pilaf depending on where in the world you are. Rice cooked with onion, mushrooms, and chicken bouillon. Brown rice and wild rice pilaf with mushrooms, cranberries, and almonds.
