Bulgur for pilaf is made from whole wheat grains, which are perfect for pilaf, remaining fluffy and absorbing flavors.

To prepare: rinse the bulgur, fry it in a saucepan with a little oil for about 1 minute, then pour in boiling water in a 1:2 ratio, add salt, bring to a boil, and simmer, covered, over low heat for about 15 minutes.
