Flax and Bulgur Pilaf
This recipe was completely new to me. I found it on the back of a package of 'Bob's Red Mill' flax seeds. I love flax seeds and am always happy to find another way to enjoy them. This pilaf was delicious and now that I've tried it, I am imagining all the other grains I can combine with flax. I think I'm going to mix it with my brown rice, quinoa, barley and the list goes on and on.
Here's what I did...
Sautéed some chopped onions (recipe said 1/3 cup but I love onion so I used 1 1/2 onions) in coconut oil (recipe said butter)
Added 1 cup bulgur
And a heaping 1/4 cup flax seeds and continued to sauté for about 3 minutes
Added a diced tomato
2 cups vegetable stock and 2 teaspoons cayenne (my addition...not in the recipe)
Brought to a boil, covered and simmered 16 mins. Turned heat off and left lid on for 10 mins.
I served it with baked trout fillets and sugar snap peas. Yummy!!
That does look very interesting. I will have to give it a try.
