Südlü/shirin plov
COUNTRY: 
A sweet milk pilaf from Azerbaijan, one of just many variations of ‘plov’ to choose from. Dates, sultanas and apricots lift the milky rice and add a nice little bite. Best served warm – not hot!
Be warned: this is v. moreish and you will overload on carbs. Totally worth it though.
Time: 35 mins / Serves: 4 / DIFFICULTY: Medium
1. SAFFRON INFUSION
Pour 50ml of boiling water into a cup and add the saffron. Leave to infuse for 15 minutes.
2. COOK THE RICE
