A nice side dish that goes great with grilled chicken (for example) or lamb (or beef, or anything I guess). Try it one day when you're tired of white rice! Ingredients:
1 cup bulgur (dry) |
1/2 cup dried apricot, diced |
1/2 cup onion, diced |
3 ounces sliced almonds (i use half of a 6 oz package, that's why it is not measured in cups ) |
1 tablespoon butter |
1/2 g saffron (usually 1 small package is this size) |
Directions:
1. Prepare bulgur according to directions on package (usually boil 2x as much water as you will make bulgur, take off heat, add bulgur, stir, let sit 5 mins).
2. Stir saffron into bulgur (you can do this at any time, you can add saffron into the water as it boils - I usually do - or you can add it after the bulgur is made - which I did when I forgot it!).
3. While bulgur is cooking, sauté onions in butter over med-high heat, as soon as onions begin to get soft (2 mins) add apricots. Lower heat to med-low and sauté for an additional 10 minutes.
4. Add sliced almonds to the apricot/onion mix.
5. When bulgur is ready, add apricot/onion/almond mix; fluff and serve!
