TURKISH FOOD RECIPES



















 

•  Ingredients:

  125 ml (4 fl oz) olive or groundnut oil
  1 medium-size onion -sliced very finely
  25 gr (1 oz) vermicelli
  250 gr (8 oz) bulghur (cracked wheat) -picked clean
  300 ml (½ pint) chicken (or vegetable) stock
  Salt and pepper
   

   

•  How to Make: (Serves 4-6, 30 min)

1. Heat the oil and saute the onion until it glistens
2. Add the vermicelli, breaking it with your hands.
3. Continue to sauté together for 4-5 minutes until it all looks pale golden.
4. Place the bulghur in a fine sieve, wash it briefly under running water and add it to the saucepan.
5. Add the chicken stock and season, but do not add salt if your stock was made from a stock cube; mix well.
6. Cover the pan and simmer very gently for 6-7 minutes at most, until the mixture is dry.
7. Cover with tea towel, place the lid tightly on top and let it stand for 10 minutes before serving. (On uncovering the saucepan you will find its aroma is quite overpowering.)

The bulgur pilaf will keep quite hot and fresh, if covered like this, for about one hour and it keeps its texture if reheated with 2-3 tablespoons of water the next day.
