Sehriyeli Pilavı (Turkish Pilaf)

Turkish Pilavı or Pilaf has a different cooking method compare to Indonesian rice cooking method, which through two stages (We're talking "old fashioned way", not using an electric rice cooker ). That is cooked 1st in boiling water until half cooked and then steam it.

Turkish Pilavı only through one cooking stage. Another difference is mostly Turkish pilaf used vegetable oil (or olive oil) and butter and adds arpa şehriye (orzo)

Ingredients and How to make:

- 2 cups of rice, wash and soak with warm water approximately 30. Drain.
- 1/2 cup arpa şehriye / orzo pasta
- 1/4 cup olive oil

- 2 Tbsp butter

Heat olive oil and butter in a heavy-bottomed pot. Put arpa şehriye (orzo pasta) stir until dark brown color (do not let burn). Then add rice, stir again until rice mix with oil. Reduce heat to medium. Add hot broth and salt, stir well again. Close tight and shall not be opened until the water dries out about 10 minutes.

Lowest the heat as possible you can, lid on again, and continue to cook over the lowest heat for approximately 15 min.

After 5-10 min, the lid can be opened and Turkish Pilavı can be served warm.

We can bake this Salamlı börek or we can fry it, both of ways are same delicious but I prefer fry because more simple (no need brush egg yolk and black sesame seeds) and the filo dough became more crispy.. Let's try to make it...

:: If you want to fry this börek to fry, you need vegetable oil to fry in deep pan

:: If you want to bake this börek to bake; You will need other materials:

- 1 egg yolk

- Black sesame seed (or any sesame you have)

How to make:

1) For filling: mix all ingredients (but filo dough)

2)Unfold 1 pc of filo dough, brush with vegetable oil and fold it become half round. Cut it into 8 pcs (become triangle shape). see the Illustration picture

3) brush again the surface with vegetable oil and fill with "salam" filling. Fold and roll like a picture.

::If you want to bake-> Brush the surface with egg yolk and spread with black sesame seeds. Then bake 160 C around 20 mnt or until golden.

Bake börek
