Rinse the rice and turn it in butter for 2 minutes.
Add mushrooms and chestnuts and fry for 3 minutes.
Add water and cook the pilaf for 15 minutes.
Keep the lid closed during cooking so the rice absorbs steam without losing it.
Steam the pilaf for 8 minutes so moisture settles evenly into the grains.
💡 Tip: Boiling chestnuts beforehand keeps them from staying hard in the pilaf.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: After resting, move to a wide plate and bring chestnut pieces to the top.
