I would give this recipe a 3 out of 5. It was easy to make and the flavors were good. However, the bulgur was a bit too al dente for my taste.

This pilaf was a disaster. The bulgur was mushy and the dates and apricots were too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found this pilaf to be a bit bland. It needed more seasoning. I also think the bulgur was slightly overcooked.

This pilaf was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with fewer dates and apricots. Otherwise, it was a good dish.
