A distinctive sweet-and-sour bulgur pilaf prepared by Diyarbakır cuisine with dried sour plums. In this pilaf, where the plum juice soaks into the bulgur, it's served as a traditional accompaniment alongside kebabs and meat dishes.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the plums

20 min

Soak the dried sour plums in warm water for 20 minutes to soften; set the soaking water aside without discarding it.

2

Sauté the onion and walnuts

6 min

Heat the olive oil in a pot and sauté the onion until translucent; add the coarsely crushed walnuts and dried mint and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.

3

Add the bulgur and plums

3 min

Add the rinsed bulgur and the softened plums and sauté together for 2-3 minutes.

4

Add water and cook

14 min

Add the hot water, the plum soaking water, and salt and bring to a boil; cook over low heat with the lid closed until the water is absorbed.

5

Let it rest and serve

8 min

Remove from heat and let rest for 8-10 minutes, then stir and serve.

Reminder

Important: Don't add the dried plum to the pilaf without first softening it by soaking in warm water — it can stay tough. Balance the plum liquid with salt by tasting as you go. Contains no allergen.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

The tartness of the plum juice varies by the type of plum; it's safer to add less salt at first and adjust to taste at the end of cooking.
