Bulgur Pilaf
What you need
- 1 cup bulgur
- 1 onion
- 1 spoon tomato paste
- butter
Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.
What you do
Soften onion in butter, stir in the paste, add bulgur and two cups of hot water. Cover, lowest heat, fifteen minutes, then rest with a tea towel under the lid.
How it feels to make
The tea towel under the lid feels like a secret handshake between people who cook.
Mom wrote on the back
Tea towel under the lid catches the steam. That's why yours goes fluffy and theirs doesn't.
