Bulgar Wheat and Mixed Mushroom Pilaf

Bulgur wheat is one of those ingredients that might not be in everyone's pantry but probably should, especially for those who want something on hand for making quick, easy and delicious meals. Cracked and parboiled hulled kernels of wheat, bulgur is a common part of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines and cooks in very little time. Best of all, it has a rich nutty taste and aroma that makes it good enough to eat on its own with just a little salt.

But like all grains, bulgur wheat can be dressed up with other ingredients to make a stunning side dish or main. You can use bulgur wheat in many recipes where rice or couscous are ordinarily called for … like this Indian-style pilaf with fresh mushrooms, ginger, onion and spices, with a vibrant lemon, chili and cilantro chutney stirred in, and all topped off with toasted slivered almonds. For just 35 to 40 minutes from start to finish, this is dish that will be remembered by your guests.
