Questions

Is Cingene Pilavi spicy?

Moderately. The heat in Cingene Pilavi comes from 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes. For a milder plate, halve the pepper flakes; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.

Can I make Cingene Pilavi dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (2 cups lor cheese, crumbled) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free salad collection instead.

Is Cingene Pilavi vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 2 cups lor cheese, crumbled. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan salad collection.

How many carbs are in Cingene Pilavi?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) has 8 g of carbohydrate in about 220 calories, with 12 g protein and 16 g fat, plus 2 g fiber and 450 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

How do I store and reheat Cingene Pilavi?

Water seeps out of the tomatoes as the salad sits, so keep the dressing apart and toss Cingene Pilavi just before serving. Undressed and refrigerated, the components hold about two days. It does not freeze.
