Lola’s stovetop palov follows the Uzbek qovurma style she associates with her father’s cooking.

About Palov

Lola’s stovetop palov follows the Uzbek qovurma style she associates with her father’s cooking. Lamb, rice, onion and carrots form the core of this substantial main dish.

Canola oil, cumin and black pepper give the rice its savoury character. A whole garlic bulb is optional, as are the author’s additional barberry and turmeric suggestions.

The rice and vegetables appear together beneath pieces of lamb in the published presentation. Lola describes this as a home-style palov, with individual rice grains that keep their shape.
