Wild Rice and Bulgur Pilaf With Dried Cranberries image

Got this from my mother, who told me recently (when I served her a 'Zaar bulgur recipe) that she'd never eaten bulgur before. But this recipe is on a yellowed, crumbling newspaper clipping, so I guess she meant to! We tried it and it's great.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups wild rice, cooked
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/3 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup Bulgar wheat (coarser grain)
13 1/2 ounces vegetable broth (or low-sodium chicken broth)
1/4 teaspoon thyme (dried)
2 scallions, sliced thin
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add onion, celery, cranberries and bulgur.
  • Cook until wheat is browned, 3-4 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning.
  • Add cooked wild rice, broth, and thyme.
  • Stir well.
  • Simmer, covered, until wheat is cooked (about 15 minutes).
  • Stir in green onions.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • This can be served immediately (while warm), or you can make it 1-2 days ahead and refrigerate.
  • To reheat, cover and bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
