BULGUR PULAO

Steps:

• Check, rinse and drain the rice.
• Heat the oil in a 3-quart pot on medium heat.
• Add cumin seeds; as soon as they change color, add chopped onions.
• Stir until the onions are translucent.
• Stir in the bulgur and cook for a couple of minutes.
• Add the rice, vegetables and salt; stir for about 5 minutes.
• Add 3 cups water (3½ for presoaked brown rice).
• When the water starts to boil (in about 5 minutes), lower the heat, add garam masala, and let the rice simmer, covered, until cooked (15 to 20 minutes for white rice, 40 to 50 minutes for brown rice).
• Garnish and serve hot.
• Variation: Add some wild rice for chewy texture and smoky flavor.

BULGUR WHEAT PILAF

Steps:

• Place bulgur in a heat-proof bowl and pour 1 1/2 cups boiling water over it. Let stand for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until most of the water is absorbed by the wheat. Drain.
• Heat oil in saucepan. Saute onion for about 3 minutes. Add garlic, salt, pepper. Saute for 10 seconds.
• Stir the drained bulgur wheat into the onion mixture. Cook for 4-5 minutes. The excess moisture will cook away and then the wheat will begin to brown and become fluffy.
• Add in the frozen peas. Mix well and cook for about 1 minute longer. Stir in the butter.
• Serve immediately.
