My mother made this nutritious side dish all the time when we were growing up. I enhanced the recipe with a bigger variety of dried fruit to find an interesting balance between the sweet and salty flavors. -Ninette Holbrook, Orlando, FL

This pilaf was a disaster. The bulgur was overcooked and the fruits and nuts were mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found this pilaf to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more spices or herbs.

This pilaf was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less fruit or adding some tart ingredients to balance out the sweetness.
