Hi! It is great recipe for Russian rice pudding or "Risovaya zapekanka".Plov is entirely different dish made from rice, meat (traditionally lamb), carrots, raisins and bunch of spices. I thought I'd let you know. -
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS RECIPE! It's OUTSTANDING! I loved the way it went together! Another time I might even use rounded measures for the raisins! Great served warm, but especially nice even when cold! Definitely a keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup cooking game]
