- at the same time that pork must be fatty - it must have a lean component so that the pilaf is not "empty";
- there should be a lot of pork, since when cooking pilaf, it is very fried.
Summarizing all of the above, for pilaf you need pork, which is fried until golden brown and saturates the garnish component of pilaf with meat juices to the maximum. Then pilaf will be, although not classic, but still pilaf.
Similar to the classic approach, lean (neck, tenderloin, even cheeks) meat can be fried in fat from the brisket or ridge. You can go against all the rules and cook pilaf with pork ribs - it turns out very tasty, the bones do their job and the pilaf acquires a deep meaty hue.
