Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 shallots, finely chopped
1 cup medium bulgur
2 cups vegetable stock
sat and pepper (to taste)
1 cup tomatoes, finely diced (fresh or canned)
1 tablespoon of fresh mint, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots, cover, and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the bulgur and stir to combine. Stir in the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cove and simmer until the bulgur is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the tomatoes. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the mint, cover and let stand for a further 5 minutes before serving.

This dish was a bit too oily for my liking. I would use less olive oil next time.

This pilaf was a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

I'm not a huge fan of bulgur, but this dish was surprisingly good. The tomatoes and shallots added a lot of flavor.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! I used brown rice instead of bulgur and it was still delicious.
