Pick over the bulgur, rinse it, and leave it in a strainer.
Cook the onion in olive oil for 3 minutes.
Add the bulgur and tomatoes to the pot and toast for 2 minutes.
For Nevsehir bulgur pilaf, add hot water and salt, then close the lid.
Cook the pilaf for 15 minutes so the bulgur does not become mushy.
Let the pot rest for 8 minutes and gently stir before serving.
Spread the Nevsehir pilaf on the plate without pressing it down, so the bulgur grains are not crushed.
💡 Tip: Briefly toasting the bulgur reduces the chance that it turns mushy as it cooks.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the pilaf hot with ayran or cacik on the side.
