How to Make Bulgur Wheat Pilaf
- Place 1 cup of bulgur wheat in a heat-proof bowl and pour 1 1/2 cups of boiling water over it.
- Let stand for 45-60 minutes, or until most of the water is absorbed by the wheat.
- Drain any excess water thoroughly.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and sauté for about 3 minutes, until softened.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Sauté for 10 seconds, until fragrant.
- Stir in the drained bulgur wheat and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Continue cooking until the excess moisture evaporates and the wheat begins to brown slightly and become fluffy.
