This dish, combining crunchy almonds and sweet apricots, tastes great with lamb or chicken.

Back to TopThis is one of my favorites (with the addition of craisins and using cilantro instead of parsley). Warm, it tastes like Thanksgiving stuffing. Cold, it is a light and refreshing salad. I always make a double batch. Yummm.

Yummy dish! I would add a bit more butter next time - 1 Tablespoon rather than 1/2 Tablespoon. Also I substituted raisins for the apricots, and it was delicious. I am going to try it with the apricots next time I make it.

This was so delicious! Seems bland as written, but amazingly, the flavors were very alive. I added mint from my garden and used Quinoa cooked in chicken stock, which lifted this all to a new level. The almonds added the perfect crunch. Will definitely make again.

This is simple, but good. I carry it into work for my lunch. The butter really adds a nice lushness. I will definitely try adding cardamom and lemon juice.

This dish was a bit of a disappointment--though perhaps because it deserves side dish status and I tried to make it the center of the meal. It's quite sweet, so be prepared... I will give this another try sometime--maybe in the summer to accompany a grilled chicken breast or some light meat.

I have not tried this recipe, but it is very similar to a recipe I often make. What I add in my similar bulgur dish and what -I think- makes the dish really delicious is ground cardamom (lots of it!) and lemon zest. You can also try adding a variety of herbs (I often use fresh mint and chives) and nuts (pistachios especially). I would suggest some simple chicken dish and a nice glass of gewurztraminer with this bulgur recipe.
