Pilaf
Coarse bulgur is toasted with boiled chickpeas, cumin, chilli flakes and cinnamon and simmered in this pilaf, making a filling main dish for a guest table. Bulgur's lower glycaemic index combined with the fibre in chickpeas makes it a measured, diabetic-friendly option.
Step by Step
How to make it?
2
Add the spices
2 minAdd the tomato paste, cumin, pepper flakes and cinnamon and cook for 2 minutes.
3
Add the bulgur and chickpeas
3 minAdd the coarse bulgur and boiled chickpeas and toast, stirring, for another 3 minutes.
4
Cook
20 minAdd the hot water and salt, and once it comes to a boil, cook covered over low heat for 20 minutes.
5
Rest and serve
25 minTake it off the heat and let it rest, covered, for 25 minutes before serving.
Reminder
Do not skip toasting the bulgur with the spices before adding the liquid; it keeps the grains separate as they cook. Do not cut the resting time short once it is off the heat — the grains only firm up properly as it rests. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten).

Tarifte tarçın kullanılması bana ilginç geldi, tatlı bir tat katar diye çekindim ama sonuçta dengeyi bozmadı, sadece hafif bir arka not bıraktı. Yine de miktarını azaltarak kullanmayı tercih ederim.

Tarçının amacı baskın bir tatlılık değil, derin bir arka aroma vermek; azaltarak kullanmak da güzel sonuç verir. Yarım çay kaşığına kadar düşürmeniz dengeyi bozmaz.
