How to Make Lime Scented Bulgar Pilaf With Raisins And Pine Nuts

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add a tablespoon of water at a time if needed to prevent sticking.
  3. Pour in 2 cups of vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
  4. Stir in 1 cup bulgar wheat, 1/2 cup raisins, the zest and juice of 1 lime, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the bulgar is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
  7. Fluff the bulgar with a fork.
  8. Toast 1/4 cup pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown.
  9. Spoon the pilaf into a shallow serving bowl and top with the toasted pine nuts.
