When you have all the ingredients for a recipe then I say it was meant to be. It is very satisfying when you try a recipe and it turns out and tastes delicious! This bulgar and flax pilaf was simple and easy. It had a nutty flavour and texture. By far this is my new favourite side dish. It is a great alternative to rice or couscous.
Bulgar and Flax Pilaff
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2 tablespoons of butter
1 cup Bulgar Wheat
1/4 cup Flaxseed
1/3 cup onion, minced
1 small tomato, diced
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
*Other veggies and seasoning may be added or substituted.
In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the bulgar, flaxseed and onions. Stir until the bulgar is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomato, chicken broth, salt and Italian seasonings. Cover and bring to a boil. Then lower the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the broth has been absorbed. Fluff with a fork. Let stand for 10 minutes, then serve.
Enjoy! - JW
