No. 945 — Pilaf with Rice and Tomato
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 945 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Another variation on pilaf No. 943: when the pilaf is nearly ready, add two or three spoonfuls of tomato purée that has first been fried in butter.
Mix gently into the rice so as not to crush the grains and return the dish to the oven for a few minutes.
