Saute the onion in oil for 3 minutes, until it softens and releases its aroma.
Add the quince cubes and saute for 4 minutes, until the edges soften.
Add the bulgur and turn for 2 minutes, until coated with oil.
Add the hot water and salt and cook for 15 minutes.
Rest the pilaf for 10 minutes so the quince pieces do not fall apart.
💡 Tip: Cutting the quince into small cubes lets it soften in the same time as the bulgur.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the pilaf hot beside a main dish, with yogurt on the side.
