  • This dish is very often confused with pilaf, but it's not the same — shavlya is a rice porridge, meaning the rice can be soft, even a bit overcooked. That said, the method really is similar to making pilaf; the difference lies in the ratio of ingredients and the technique. So, cut the meat into small pieces. Cut the carrots into the traditional matchsticks and the onions into rings. In a little vegetable oil, render and fry the pieces of fat, then lift out the cracklings with a slotted spoon — you can add them back to the shavlya later. Fry the meat, onions, and carrots, much as you would for pilaf, but add grated tomatoes (or tomato paste if you don't have fresh tomatoes). Then pour in the water. Once it boils, add salt, cumin, and pepper, and only then add the rice. Cook, stirring often so it doesn't scorch. If the water boils off before the rice is done, just add more boiling water. Take the finished shavlya off the heat, cover it tightly (you can even wrap it in a wool shawl), and let it rest for 15 minutes.
