Pilaf with squid

Do you like pilaf, but do you want something unusual? Cook it with squid! If you are a seafood lover like me, you will surely like this recipe. A good way to diversify your everyday menu! The recipe is very simple, however, to prepare such pilaf, you need to soak chickpeas in advance. Pilaf can become quite vegetarian or lean if you do not put bacon in it before serving.

Cooking method

Cooking time: 9 h 25 min

1. Soak the chickpeas overnight (at least for 6-8 hours).
2. Boil the chickpeas and rice until almost ready.
2. Peel the onion, cut it into cubes or half rings.
3. If you took whole squid carcasses, they need to be washed, cleaned, lightly beaten off and cut into pieces. I prefer to take rings for such pilaf.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan, put the onion and squid in it, fry everything together for 5-7 minutes.
5. Put the onion and squid in a cauldron, put the chickpeas on top, then rice.
6. Add salt, add spices to your taste.
7. Fill everything with water - so that it covers the rice. You don't need a lot of water, you don't need to mix it either.
8. Close the cauldron lid, simmer all together until the rice is ready. On average, it takes 10-15 minutes.
9. Mix the pilaf, sprinkle with bacon slices and fresh herbs.

Bon appetit!
