In Turkey, there is a saying; if she cooks good pilaf, then she can cook any dish. Pilaf is our number one side dish without a doubt. You can even see pilaf cars on the streets of Istanbul. Stir-fry over the heat to heat through.
Steps 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.
