Directions
Middle Eastern Pilaff, A vegetarian pilaff made with bulgar wheat – or if you prefer rice – which makes a great accompaniment for kebabs or any BBQd or grilled meat or fish This recipe is one I found on an International Masters ‘1001 recipes for pan or wok’ recipe card, and have posted for the 2005 Zaar World Tour , Changes I made: used canola oil instead of sunflower, substituted peanuts for cashews, used vegetable stock from the health food store, skipped the fresh coriander garnish Still mostly intact, this was a very tasty, healthy dish with a nice mix of flavors, and the bulgur made a nice variation from the usual rice Good going, Bluemoon , Changes I made: used canola oil instead of sunflower, substituted peanuts for cashews, used vegetable stock from the health food store, skipped the fresh coriander garnish Still mostly intact, this was a very tasty, healthy dish with a nice mix of flavors, and the bulgur made a nice variation from the usual rice Good going, Bluemoon

Chef's Notes: Stirring the Bulgar Mixture During Cooking, During Step 4, Helps to Prevent It from Sticking to the Pan or Wok. When Vegetable Stock Is Needed in a Recipe, Since Finding - and Then Posting - This Recipe, I Have Used My Vegetable Stock Recipe #135453, Which Is Very Different from Every Other Vegetable Stock Recipe I've Ever Come Across. |
