Simple Bulghur Pilaf

Delicious in its tender, nutty texture this pilaf made not of rice but bulghur is a delicious change from rice. Where serving brown rice to picky eaters may fail, this bulghur pilaf does not.

serves 2 generously

150 g. bulghur, fine or medium
1 sm. minced onion

1 T. butter, divided

a little olive oil

1/4 t. salt

pepper

Rinse the bulghur well and allow to drain thoroughly.

Melt half the butter in a small, heavy pan and add just a little light olive oil - about 1/2 t. or so. Sauté the minced onion for a minute or so before adding the bulghur and a grating of pepper. Continue to sauté 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. The bulghur may toast lightly but not brown.. Add the stock and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer 20 minutes. Stir occasionally after 10 minutes with a fork.

Chop the remaining butter into small pieces and using a fork, gently stir through the bulghur before serving.

Note: I find that bulghur does not need as much salt as one would normally use for rice, hence the amount given.
