Bulgur pilaf is a hearty, nutrient-rich dish originating from Middle Eastern cuisine. Made primarily from bulgur wheat—a whole grain with a nutty flavor—it serves as a fiber-rich alternative to rice. Typically cooked with onions, tomatoes, olive oil, and broth, this pilaf is often seasoned with spices like cumin or paprika to enhance its savory and aromatic qualities. Occasionally, vegetables, fresh herbs, or protein sources like chickpeas are added for extra nutrition. High in complex carbohydrates and packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, bulgur supports digestion and sustained energy levels. It is also lower on the glycemic index compared to refined grains, making it a better option for managing blood sugar. However, sodium levels can rise if heavily salted or made with store-bought broths, so moderation is key. Quick to prepare and versatile, bulgur pilaf is a delicious and health-conscious addition to balanced meals.
