Porridge for Men
Description
The recipe won't take much time. We men love to eat well and heartily, but we don't always have time to prepare something tasty, filling, and quick. I suggest you make a man's porridge—it's hearty and contains meat. Cooking pilaf takes a long time, but this porridge is just perfect for a man, isn't it? :) This porridge is easy to prepare, and even a man who's new to cooking can handle it with ease. Serve hot.

Step 1
First, thoroughly rinse the rice, then soak it in cold water for 10–15 minutes. Measure the rice with a cup, as we will use the same cup later to measure the water.

Meanwhile, let's prepare the other ingredients. Cut the meat into small pieces. Place it in a hot skillet with a small amount of oil and fry until golden brown.

Next, drain all the water from the rice and transfer the rice to a frying pan. Spread the rice evenly over the entire surface of the pan, without stirring for now. Cover with a lid and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5
Add salt, black pepper to taste, and 2 cups of water (the same water used to measure the rice). Reduce the heat slightly, cover with a lid, and let it cook for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, add unpeeled garlic, turn the heat to the lowest setting, and simmer the rice with the meat, covered, for another 10 minutes. Serve the hot porridge, sprinkled with any fresh herbs.
