Wild Rice and Bulgur Pilaf With Dried Cranberries image

Got this from my mother, who told me recently (when I served her a 'Zaar bulgur recipe) that she'd never eaten bulgur before. But this recipe is on a yellowed, crumbling newspaper clipping, so I guess she meant to! We tried it and it's great.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup medium-grain bulgur
1 can (14.5 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/4 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • In a small skillet over medium heat, cook almonds, tossing occasionally, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from skillet, and let cool. (Or use oven method; see note, below.) Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add bulgur; stir to coat.
  • Add broth; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Cover saucepan, and simmer until liquid has evaporated and bulgur is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; sprinkle bulgur with cranberries. Cover, and set aside to steam, about 5 minutes.
  • Add toasted almonds to bulgur; fluff with a fork. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bulgur wheat. There are three main types of bulgur wheat: fine, medium, and coarse. Fine bulgur is best for pilafs and salads, medium bulgur is good for soups and stews, and coarse bulgur is ideal for stuffing and casseroles.
  • Rinse the bulgur wheat before cooking. This will remove any dirt or debris and help to prevent the bulgur from becoming sticky.
  • Use a 1:2 ratio of bulgur wheat to liquid. This will ensure that the bulgur is cooked through without becoming mushy.
  • Bring the liquid to a boil before adding the bulgur wheat. This will help to prevent the bulgur from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Simmer the bulgur wheat for 10-15 minutes, or until it is tender. Be sure to stir the bulgur occasionally to prevent it from sticking.
  • Fluff the bulgur wheat with a fork before serving. This will help to separate the grains and make the bulgur light and airy.
  • Add dried cranberries, nuts, and herbs to taste. Bulgur wheat is a versatile grain that can be flavored in many ways. Try adding dried cranberries, nuts, and herbs to create a delicious and healthy side dish.

Conclusion:

Bulgur wheat is a healthy and versatile grain that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins, and it is also relatively low in calories. Bulgur wheat can be cooked in a variety of ways, and it can be flavored with a variety of ingredients. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy side dish or a hearty and satisfying main course, bulgur wheat is a great option.
