This is a traditional dish during Ramadan months especially. Translated this from Turkish so I apologize if the measurements are slightly off.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, minced
1 ripe tomato, cut into small cubes
3 cups beef broth
2 cups bulgur, rinsed
salt and ground black pepper, or to taste
½ cup cooked green lentils
⅓ cup cooked chickpeas
1 bunch fresh mint, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir tomatoes through the onion; continue cooking until tomatoes soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour beef broth over the onion and tomato mixture; bring to a boil.
  • Stir bulgur into the boiling broth; season with salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook at a simmer until the bulgur begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add lentils and chickpeas; continue cooking until the moisture evaporates and the bulgur is tender, 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • Remove the skillet from heat. Set aside to cool about 30 minutes. Fold mint into the bulgur mixture to serve.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste, but it was still a good recipe. I think I would add more spices next time.

I'm not usually a fan of bulgur pilav, but this recipe changed my mind. The bulgur was cooked perfectly, and the vegetables were flavorful and tender. I loved the addition of the pine nuts and raisins, which added a nice crunch and sweetness.

I've made bulgur pilav many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The bulgur was fluffy and light, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. I especially liked the use of fresh herbs, which gave the dish a really nice flavor.
