Plov, Uzbekistan’s national dish, is a hearty rice pilaf made with carrots, onions, and tender meat. It’s traditionally made with lamb, though I prefer using beef, and can also include a variety of additions like chickpeas or raisins. Another unique aspect of this dish are the whole garlic heads, which are slowly simmered in the

I don’t think this dish needs much explanation. What I love about it is it’s quick and uses ingredients most people already have on hand, and of course, it tastes great. Also.

All you really have to do is marinate the salmon and prepare your toppings, and if you serve it with those microwavable rice packets, it is literally no work.

Chili is one of my favorite comfort foods in the colder months, and this turkey chili is perfect for when I want something hearty and delicious but a bit lighter than a traditional beef chili.

I’m usually not one for pasta salads, but this one is so summery and fresh it may have converted me.
