This delicious and unusual pilau was something totally new for us when it was cooked by Zainabu, a Spicery guest cook from Uganda.

All the flavour and colour comes from frying the onions until they’re really dark, and from the unexpected addition of black tea!

This dish went from a “ Urrgh I’m not eating that” to a “ Oh wow, delicious” I used PG tips, but might try Yorkshire next time! Recipe easy to follow and dish fun to make! Apologies for photo , dish is behind book, should be in front!

Ha! Glad we convinced you!
