BULGUR PILAF WITH CHICKPEAS
Adapted from "The PDQ Vegetarian Cookbook" by Donna Klein. The recipe recommends fancy (fine grain) bulgur as it cooks faster, although none of the stores I went to had more than one kind to pick from so I took what I could get (I believe it was medium). The original recipe also called for frozen chopped onion and jarred minced garlic - I used fresh. This recipe was my first experience with toasted sesame oil - delicious!

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine bulgur and boiling water. Let stand 10 minutes to soften.
- In a deep-sided skillet with a lid heat olive oil and sesame oil over medium heat.
- Add the onion and cook, stirring until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
- Add the chickpeas, broth, reserved bulgur (and any accumulated water at bottom of bowl), pimiento (if using), cumin, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine; bring mixture to boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until the bulgur has absorbed all the liquid, about 15 minutes.
- If the bulgur seems to wet (it should be moist but not soggy), increase heat to medium and cook, uncovered, stirring often, until fairly dry.
- Fluff with a fork and serve warm.
