Cut the beet into small cubes, then wash and drain the bulgur.
For the beet bulgur base, saute the onion in butter for 5 minutes.
Add the beet and turn for 6 minutes so its color passes into the fat.
Add the bulgur and chickpeas and toast for 3 minutes.
Add the hot water and salt and cook over low heat for 17 minutes.
Rest the pot for 10 minutes so the beet steam softens the bulgur grains.
💡 Tip: Cutting the beet into small cubes helps it soften in the same time as the bulgur.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the pilaf warm with parsley on top and yogurt on the side.
