Ingredients
Method
- Soften onion in oil for 5 minutes. Add bulgur and stock, adjusting liquid to the grain package instructions if needed.
- Cover and simmer according to package timing until the grain is tender and liquid absorbed. Rest covered for 10 minutes.
- Fluff with a fork and fold in lemon zest, juice, parsley and almonds.
A little note
Choose coarse bulgur for a distinct pilaf texture rather than fine bulgur meant for soaking.
Cooking tips
- Use the liquid ratio for the bulgur grade on your package; fine and coarse bulgur need different treatment.
- Rest covered before fluffing, then fold in lemon and herbs gently to preserve the grain texture.
