HomeBulgur Pilaf With Green Lentils, Served With Caramelized Onions -Mercimekli Bulgur Pilavi

Bulgur Pilaf With Green Lentils, Served With Caramelized Onions -Mercimekli Bulgur Pilavi

This wonderful, traditional pilaf is from my hometown Antioch (Antakya), and it is served with caramelized onions over the top. The sweetness of the caramelized onions complements the lentils and bulgur really well. I like to serve it with spicy pickled peppers or a green salad with a sharp lemon juice and olive oil dressing, they complement the pilaf wonderfully. Easy, healthy and delicious, this pilaf can be kept in fridge for 2-3 days.

Variation: I had some chestnut mushrooms that needed using the other day. So I sautéed the slices of the mushrooms with some crushed garlic, and then added a handful of chopped parsley. Seasoned with salt and pepper and added a juice of 1/2 lemon to the mixture for a nice tangy finish. I served the bulgur and green lentils pilaf with this sautéed mushrooms, it was delightful. Just another idea for serving.

Ingredients

8 Serves
Preparation time: minutes Cooking time: 35 minutes
1 cup  225 gr/8oz/  green lentils
350  bulgur  wheat,  rinsed
15 1 tablespoons mild  olive oil
750 milliliters  / ¼ pints/3cups hot  water
Salt  and ground  black pepper  to taste
To serve:
1  onion,  halved and thinly sliced
45 3 tablespoons mild  olive oil
Pickled  green  and  red peppers

Preparation

1. Boil the green lentils in a heavy pan with plenty of hot water for about 15 minutes. Drain the water and set the green lentils aside.
2. Combine the half cooked green lentils and rinsed the bulgur wheat in a heavy pan. Pour in the hot water and olive oil.  Season  with  salt  and pepper to  taste  and  stir  to combine thoroughly. Bring to boil for 1-2 minutes, and then reduce the heat.  Cover and simmer until all the liquid has been completely absorbed (about 15 minutes).
3. While the  pilaf  is cooking,  heat  the olive oil in a pan and  stir  in the onion  slices.  Over a medium  heat,  cook the onion  slices  for about 10-15 minutes until they start to get caramelized,  stir occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Serve  the bulgur and green lentils  pilaf  with the  caramelized  onion  slices  over the  top.  Spicy  pickled  peppers or a green  salad  with a sharp lemon  juice  and olive oil  dressing  would go really well with the  pilaf.
5. Afiyet Olsun!
