BULGUR PILAF WITH RAISINS AND PINE NUTS



Bulgur Pilaf with Raisins and Pine Nuts image

Categories     Nut     Side     Fry     Raisin     Pine Nut     Bulgur     Boil

Yield serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 1/2 cups chicken stock (page 143) (or you may use a bouillon cube) or water
3 cups (1 pound) coarse-ground bulgur, washed in cold water and drained
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup pine nuts
4-5 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
1/3 cup black or golden raisins, soaked in water for 1/2 hour

Steps:

  • Bring the water or stock to boil in a pan. Add the bulgur, salt (taking into account the saltiness of the stock), and pepper and stir, then cook, covered, on very low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the grain tender. Turn off the heat and leave, covered, for 10 minutes, or until the grain is plump and tender.
  • Fry the pine nuts in a tablespoon of the butter or oil, shaking the pan until golden. Stir it into the bulgur with the remaining butter or oil and the drained raisins and heat through.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality bulgur: Use coarse bulgur for a chewier texture and fine bulgur for a softer texture.
  • Rinse the bulgur before cooking: This removes any impurities and helps the bulgur cook evenly.
  • Use a flavorful broth: Vegetable broth or chicken broth adds flavor to the bulgur.
  • Cook the bulgur according to the package directions: This will ensure that the bulgur is cooked properly.
  • Fluff the bulgur with a fork before serving: This will help separate the grains and make the bulgur light and fluffy.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Pine nuts, dried fruits, fresh herbs, and vegetables are all great additions to bulgur.

Conclusion:

Bulgur is a versatile and nutritious grain that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins and minerals. Bulgur is also a relatively quick and easy grain to cook. With its nutty flavor and chewy texture, bulgur is a great addition to any meal.
