- 2
Turn the onion in olive oil for 4 minutes, until translucent.
4 min04:00 - 3
Add the bulgur and toast for 2 minutes so the grains are coated with oil.
2 min02:00 - 4
Add hot water, salt, and verjuice, then close the lid.
- 5
Cook the pilaf over low heat for 12 minutes, using hot water so the verjuice acid does not leave the bulgur hard.

💡 Tip: Adding the verjuice after removing the pan from the heat leaves a cleaner tartness in the pilaf.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Give the pilaf shine with thinly sliced spring onion and a spoonful of melted butter on top.
