Bulgur pilaf is a very well-known dish that many think originates from the early Ottoman (Turkish) cuisine. This (side) dish consists of bulgur which is first sautéed in oil and then simmered in some stock and seasoning. This Bulgur pilaf seasoning lends an authentic, nutty flavour to the pilaf.

Preparation: sweat a chopped onion in a generous splash of olive oil. Add the rinsed bulgur with the spice mix and fry until all the grains are coated in oil. Add the chopped red peppers, tomato puree and a generous splash of stock and cook for a few minutes. Keep adding a little bit of stock until the bulgur is tender (this takes about 15 minutes). Stir in the finely chopped parsley before serving.
