Karmir Pilaf – Armenian “Red Rice”

This dish is the definition of comfort food for Iranian-Armenians. Aromatic basmati rice, tender chunks of beef, and fluffy potatoes are cooked together in an unctuous spiced tomato sauce. My version has a little Tex-Mex twist: salsa!

Armenian Rice Pilaf

From a dear Armenian friend. I have made this for 25 years. It is so easy and always comes out perfect. This to me is the true pilaf.
