Pomidor quymoqli palov

Pomidor quymoqli palov is a traditional rice pilaf originating from Uzbekistan. Due to its attractive visual presentation, it's usually made for weddings and similar festive occasions. It's made with a combination of rice, meat (lamb or beef), onions, carrots, coriander, cumin, oil, salt, eggs, and tomatoes. The meat is sautéed in oil with the vegetables and herbs, and the mixture is then covered with rice and simmered until the liquids evaporate. The tomatoes (with their flesh scooped out) are placed on top of the rice and an egg is placed into each tomato. The lid is closed and the plov is cooked until the eggs set. Pomidor quymoqli palov is then served on large platters with the tomato-omelets on top.
