Today I'm making my favorite bulgur pilaf, which is very rich in flavors, with fragrant spices and is simply delicious. Turkish bulgur pilaf is an extremely filling, satisfying and quite healthy dish that is easy to make and a really nice alternative to rice.
Bulgur is very rich in nutritions and one of the many benefits of consuming bulgur Pilaf is the rich amount of fiber that the whole wheat contains.
