Spicy Burghul Pilav Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

2. 2

   Cook the Burghul

   Add the cracked wheat (burghul) to the saucepan and stir well to coat with the oil and onions. Add the water, Aleppo pepper, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil.

3. 3

   Simmer

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 12-15 minutes, or until the burghul has absorbed all the water and is tender.

4. 4

   Fluff and Serve

   Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the burghul with a fork, then stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Serve warm.
