Bulgur Pilaf
Bulgur Pilaf
You may have heard of bulgur, but might not be sure what it is. Bulgur is wheat berry grain that is graded from super fine to coarse; very reminiscent of couscous. Bulgar is very high in fiber, more than brown rice, and low in fat and calories. This version is a basic Lebanese tomato based preparation; ready in about 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 white onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 1 roma tomato finely chopped
- 1/2 small green bell pepper finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups fine bulgur wheat
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 can chickpeas drained
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 3 tbsp parsley chopped
Instructions
- Heat up the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté the onions for 5 minutes.
- Add in the tomatoes and green pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Mix in the bulgur to the sauce.
- Pour in the chicken stock and chicken peas. Cover and pull from the heat. Let the bulgur absorb the liquid for 10 minutes.
