Bulghur Pilaf With Meat Recipe

Pilaf is one of the indispensable dishes of Turkish cuisine. We mostly prefer rice pilaf I think. But according to me bulghur pilaf is more delcious and healthy. Especially if it contains yummy ingredients such as meat and vegetables. In this recipe it contains both, so it is more yummy than ever. If you like you can add any other vegetables or remove the ones you don't like very much.

If you have limited time for preparing food you can cook the meat the day before and keep in the fridge. Th eother day your meal would be ready in minutes. You can cook a grain dish beside, such as dry beans or green lentil. Even you can prepare only a salad and not cook any main dish as it is filling enough. Hope you try and like it, please don't forget to leave comments about your experiences.

  3. Sara: What kind of burgul (what number) do you use to replace as rice? Thank you. November 22, 2022 12:56 pm
    • Kevser: In Turkey we don't number the bulgur. We have 2 types of bulgur, coarse and fine. We use coarse bulgur for pilav recipes and fine bulgur for salads. But live in Spain and they don't have these bulgurs here unless you buy Turkish brands in specific stores. I don't know where you live or what types of bulgur you have there but if you want to make an original bulgur pilav try to buy a Turkish brand. You can search for Duru coarse pilavlık bulgur.
