Bulgur Pilavi
Also known as: Bulgur pilavı
Turkish coarse bulgur pilaf simmered with onion, red pepper and tomato paste.
About Bulgur Pilavi
Bulgur Pilavi is a Turkish pilaf of coarse cracked wheat cooked until each grain is tender but distinct. This profile follows the tomato-and-pepper version, using water rather than stock so its exact formula stays transparent.
Tomato paste and red pepper give the bulgur a sweet savoury depth, while onion builds a mellow aromatic base. Olive oil and butter add richness around the grain, with salt and black pepper providing a clean, restrained finish.
The finished pilaf is loose and fluffy, coloured warm red-orange by tomato paste and dotted with softened onion and pepper. The coarse grains remain pleasantly chewy rather than becoming creamy or porridge-like.
