Called pilav or pilau as well, pilaf originated in Persia and is a wonderful way to infuse aromatics and spices into a grain dish. We’re achieving that with a special UCOOK spice mix, which is infused into bulgur wheat, silky onions & buttery carrots. Served with seared ostrich slices and a cooling cucumber-mint yoghurt.
