Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 medium red onion, diced
1/4 to 1/2 chipotle chile in adobo, to taste, chopped, plus 1/2 to 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup medium bulgur
1 cup baby arugula leaves, chopped
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant and golden, 7 to 10 minutes. Check frequently, as they can burn quickly. Cool before using.
  • Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the chipotle chile, adobo sauce, coriander, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the bulgur and the boiling water. Cover, remove from the heat, and let stand until the bulgur is tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Fluff the bulgur with a fork and pour into a large bowl. Toss with the arugula, green peas, parsley, dill and walnuts. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature.

This pilaf was a great way to use up some leftover rice. I had some cooked brown rice in the fridge and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up.

This pilaf was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.
