How to Make Middle Eastern Pilaff
- Heat olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cinnamon. Cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Add bulgar wheat (or rice) and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted.
- Pour in vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes (or according to package directions for rice), or until the liquid is absorbed and the bulgar wheat (or rice) is tender.
- Stir in chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. If using, stir in dried cranberries or currants.
- Fluff with a fork and serve hot. Garnish with toasted pine nuts, if desired.
