I would like to share my opinion with you about these pictures. Most likely this is a recipe of Uzbeks traditional food called Plov. I want to notice that it is popular in other countries too. The pictures perfectly show you the tutorial of cooking this meal. Firstly, you must buy some meat, some garlic and many onions. Some people even cad add few carrots, but it is for an amateur, at least I think so. You have to wash your meat before cutting it, because who know where that meat was. Also don't forget to peel all of these vegetables, to clear it from litter and etc. I'm not really good at cooking, so I can't describe you the preparing process of this meal, but still I'm done with my text.
