Boulgour aux Épices is a flavorful and aromatic gluten-free dish that celebrates the nutty taste of bulgur wheat, enhanced with a blend of warm spices. This dish makes for a delightful side that pairs beautifully with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.

Ingredients

• Bulgur wheat - 100 grams
• Water - 250 milliliters
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon (or to taste)
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Rinse the bulgur wheat under cold water and drain well.
2. In a medium saucepan, bring 250 milliliters of water to a boil.
3. Add the bulgur wheat to the boiling water, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 12-15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the bulgur is tender.
4. While the bulgur is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
5. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
6. Stir in the cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper, cooking for an additional minute to toast the spices.
7. Once the bulgur is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed onion and spices. Mix well to combine.
8. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
9. Serve warm as a side dish.
