This is a traditional Turkish pilaf (rice and vegetable mix) made with bulgur wheat rather than the usual rice.
Ingredients:
150g bulgur wheat, well washed and drained
500ml chicken stock, hot (or the equivalent strong vegetable stock for a vegetarian version)
1 onion, finely chopped
1 large, ripe, tomato, diced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 spring onions, finely sliced
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
Method:
Melt the butter in a medium-sized pan then add the onion and fry until soft (about 8 minutes). When ready stir-in the tomato, bell pepper, spring onion, salt and chicken (or vegetable) stock and bring to a gentle boil. As soon as the mixture begins to boil add the bulgur wheat and stir to combine. Reduce to a low simmer then half-cover with a lid and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the bulgur wheat is soft and the mixture is almost dry (about 25 minutes).
This can be served on its own as a light lunch or can be used as an accompaniment to meat dishes.
