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.

This bulgur pilaf was a delight! The combination of almonds and dried cranberries added a nice crunch and tartness to the dish. The bulgur was cooked perfectly, and the overall flavor was very well-balanced.
