Bulgur Pilaf

A nice side dish when you either have bulgar to use up or want a change for rice. I have been freezing my leftover tomato paste flattened out to make it easier to take out the small amounts needed. I was disappointed that it took so long to cook. It was delicious, however.

This was a decent pilaf. It was prepared in the usual way - minced onion was sautéed in a bit of olive oil, the bulgur sautéed along with the onion, and then stock was added (I used "better than bullion" turkey). It cooked up quickly (the 20 minute cook time was pretty good; mine was stuck to the bottom of the pan but I blame my stove). It was a mild side dish, and a good accompaniment to sesame chicken (this cookbook).
