Bulgur Pilavı, Bulgur Pilaf Recipe: A Must Try Turkish SUPERFOOD is SO Simple and Delish
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
- Today we have a great recipe that is one of our absolute favorites. It's important to us both as heritage, and as how healthy and "bereketli" it is. Bulgur means boiled, dried and cracked wheat grains and it comes in different sizes. When it is coarsely ground, we use it to make pilav. Medium grind is usually used to make kısır and dolma. Finely ground bulgur is great for soups, meatballs and veggie balls. To give you a clear picture, if Asia is the homeland of rice, America, the homeland of corn, Anatolia is the homeland of bulgur wheat. We use bulgur in almost every dish. It is nutritious, fulfilling and a superfood so it is a good ingredient in times of famine as well. Today we will be making the ultimate Bulgur pilav the way my dad taught me. It is soft, fluffy, healthy and heaven on earth! Enjoy and leave us a like and a comment if you liked the video. Have a wonderful weekend!

2 cups coarsely ground bulgur
2 onions, diced
1 small carrot, grated
4 cloves of garlic, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 heaped tablespoon + 1 teaspoon butter
2 tablespoons hot red pepper paste
2 tablespoons tomato paste (alternatively, 200 ml tomato puree)
400 g boiled chickpeas
1 tablespoon dried mint
1 teaspoon dried thyme ( or oregano)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
To garnish:
Pickles
Savory yogurt
• Brown the 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil in a pot.
• Add in the onions and sauté for a couple of minutes.
• After the onions are softened, stir in the garlic and continue to sauté.
• Add the tomato and pepper paste. Use the tip of your spatula to mix the paste with the onion and garlic evenly.
• Add the bulgur, carrot and chickpeas. Continue to stir after adding every ingredient.
• Time to spice up the pilav! Season with dried mint, thyme, salt and black pepper and add 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, if using sweet red pepper paste.
•Pour in boiling water up to 2 cm higher than the level of the bulgur. It will take around 4 cups of boiling water depending on the size of your pan.
•Add 1 teaspoon butter and simmer for 10-15 minutes-depending on the size of the bulgur- on low heat. Unlike rice pilav, leaving a little water at the bottom of the pan will make your pilav better.
•Turn off the heat and cover with a kitchen cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
•Fluff up and serve with yogurt and pickles to level up the joy and eat the bulgur pilav like we do!

Hi,
I love your recipe for bulgar,I'm British Pakistani and love Turkish food,,I tried making bulgar for the first time following your amazing recipe..and it turned out amazing. Everyone's favourite dish in my house..thank you for your amazing recipe. 😊😊😊❤
That’s amazing! ❤️❤️
I am Iranian. Live in USA almost all my life. Came to Turkey and stayed for 3 months. I am in love with Turkish capture. Your recipes. You are great.
I used to eat this when I was a student in Ankara. When I returned home to Bosnia I could not find it in any restaurant. When I saw this I immediately made it because I had all the ingredients. It tasted just as good as in Turkey. Thank you Refika.
I'm Bulgarian komşu in Canada and I'm glad I found your Chanel today. I love that you have the ingredients and description on the bottom. I'm following! It reminds me on home with a little twist. I love Turkish food! ILOVE YOUR ENERGY!
Choc Gazel😊. I met a Turkish Business couple in Cannakle, in Turkey in early 1989. I stayed with them for a speaking English Holiday. 😅😊
I loved them, their family, Turkish food, the people, culture and experiencing Ramadan and Pide bread as well as Turkish Halva.
I wanted to return, but have not yet done so, due to many things.....getting a Degree as a Mature student etc.
So when I watch your channel, at least I feel as though I'm back in Turkey for a little while 😊🎉.
So thank you so much for bringing Turkey to me in the UK, which is so very different from Turkey 😅😂😢
❤ 🤗 Thank you so much for inviting me into your home. Meeting your lovely friends. Hearing the lovely Turkish accent again and off course learning how to cook delicious and tasty Turkish food and Dishes x 😊 Mary
A yummy family recipe going back generations, and Roberta Flack. What more could you want? Thank you again Dear Refika and Crew
Refika, I so wish that you opened a restaurant near me so that I can try all of these incredible dishes that you introduce us to.
Oh, but Refika & her team are teaching us! It's only right that we learn, cook, and feed others with her recipes, spread the love
HIGHLY AGREE👍👍
@@heersyal2454 Yes, but... I'd love to try 'her version'...
Is be there every other day
@@jotablen5978 Oh, of course always better to have someone cook for you, always tastes better!
I was in turkey from September to Novembe, I miss it already, can't wait to go back.
I miss my mom too, she passed last may, she made the best Bulgur pilav,
Thank you for your special recipe, I will definitely try it.
I just came back from Side, Turkey and I left with tears in my eyes ...I feel in love with the kindness of the people ,the beauty of the land and the very tasty food..I came home with change of my mood as I had some depression and anxiety...I went to the beach just about every day just to walk along the shore...I miss it so much..and one day I will hopefully go back..The shop keeper I got to know told me I was turning Turkish because I got a dark tan and loved the food..and I am a light redhead and came to Turkey very pail..and now my husband calls me a bulgar monster..LOL I think the Turkish are the masters of garlic..I do love garlic,and my husband does too.. Thank you for making these vids Refika!
And the best bread in the world is in Turkey!!!!!
Oh my gosh Refika is such a wonderful person.... My grandmother recently passed away and she LOVED to make Turkish food her favorites were the Doner and the Baklava watching Refika makes my 17 year old heart fill with happiness and she has inspired me to go to culinary so i have all the gratitude in the world for this channel
Çok teşekkür ederim Refika!!!!
I came here to learn turkish recipies for my partner, and now i come back for more because i love the flavour and taste it brings
That looks like the ultimate comfort food! Is that the new kitchen? It's lovely.
Don’t get too comfortable. The game has just begun.
I just cooked this for my family! I’m in Britain but have a Turkish mother and an English father. I grew up on Turkish food and I love your cooking and my family love Turkish cuisine. Healthy and tasty! Thank you for your inspiration 🥰
Hello from romania.i realy love bulgur and this recipe is easy fresh and full of flavored.thnks you sharing your recipe.
Enjoy dear! ❤
I lived in Istanbul couple years ago and still to this day I am missing that amazing Turkish food. So thank you very much for all your recipes and tips! Cooking it at home brings back many great memories from Turkey and brings smile to my face. Greetings from Lithuania!
I love tabouli and this is going to be on my table. I love the way you are so good at telling how to make things. Love from Florida, USA. Carlene Barber. I'm 79 and still enjoy cooking and baking. Just ordered a grain mill so I can make healthy bread for everyone.
Your country is BEAUTIFUL ❤️
since you introduced me to the delicious wonders of Turkish cooking, I tried making bulgar. My partner and I are totally hooked! We eat it twice a week now. I’ve always loved food from this part of the world, but Turkish is particularly delicious. You’ve really added so much flavor and dimension to our meals. Thank you. I cherish your videos. Be well. ❤️
We are so fortunate to have your channel.
Reminds me of when my Anneanne used to make it except for the pickle juice. You really need the lemon to brighten it. It is still nice to see mint used properly.
Using Bulgur, and indeed tasting it for the first time ever, I made this bulgur pilaf minus the pepper paste and dried mint, using red chilli powder and fresh mint instead! Everything else was as mentioned in Refika's recipe....and what a pilaf dish it turned out to be!! Wow!! Was just heavenly!! Thank you Refika! Loads of love from India!
I love everything about Turkey including you. Don't ever stop xx
My mouth started to water as soon as I saw you adding the water. I so wish I could be there! Since I have all the ingredients I prepared it. Yummy, yummy! The easiest and very delicious! I will prepare the pepper paste!
Through these tough times my way of surviving is cooking for people who pay me and I make enough to pay basic bills. Your dishes are always a part of my menus and you make it so easy to try them they always turn out scrumptious x thank you 🙏 God bless you x I will make this next x
Thank you, Refika! I’m learning about Turkish food and love seeing the city as well. The world is full of so many wonderful cultures and people. I wish humanity could learn the lesson that “different” DOES NOT mean “wrong.”
I found a source for Turkish bulgar and can’t wait to make this recipe. I’ve enjoyed every recipe from this channel.
I cannot eat regular rice anymore so i was looking for an alternative and stumble across this seemingly lovely lady, 😁what a beautiful addition to my cooking..thank you it turned out perfect....it was such fun cooking with you💃🏽💃🏽💯
I LOVE this woman! she is such an inspiration;talented, strong, funny and good humored. She is kind (inviting everyone to visit on a trip to Turkey… and you can tell she means it!) intelligent and so giving. I have made the hummus with sumac and cumin and my little grandaughters loved it. trying the pilavi tonight! cannot wait
I just learnt the magic of bulgur here in UK whilst cooking for the first time last night. Very economical. Wonderfully tasty. Winner
I went to Turkey for the first time two weeks ago and this was my favorite meal! Thank you so much for sharing!! Tesekkür ederim❤️ greatings from México🇲🇽
I love the occasional asides to the rest of the crew. Makes it feel more like a family experience, which is what cooking should be
Well young lady I love your style of presentation and explanation of ingredients .I have recently started cooking levantine and with your help Turkish food I love it will grow my knowledge and techniques so my family will plead and beg me to cook for them now that's a great super power to have showering them with love through food that'll dae it fer me big love from Scotland x
Looks delish! I want to visit Turkey... just to taste all the delicious food! ♥️ South Africa 🇿🇦
Every time I watch your recipe, I find a close relative of it in Indian cuisine. It just makes me say, what a small world!
Pulao/Palav is a staple of Indian diet and watching the Turkish version of it was indeed a pleasure.
Pulao/ Pulav is a rice dish in Pakistan 🇵🇰 too!! So good ... and the same way we let it cook with the cloth on the lid of the pot.
Both are asian cuisines. Turkic people had effects on Indian history too (like Mughals, which were Kipchak Turks apparently), so did Indians effected us back. Both are great nations and races with really long history and great cuisines. I mean in Turkish spice is called "Baharat" which derives from "Bhaarat".
I finally had time to make it this morning. It’s currently simmering and the whiff of mint when I checked it was heavenly. One tip about the onions. If you’re crying while cutting onions sharpen your knife. Your knife isn’t slicing through it but actually crushing it, releasing the chemical that causes crying.
Her voice has some special ingredients in it. It makes me so relaxed and calm
This was the first Turkish recipe I have tried. It was amazing and has joined the "family favourites" list. Fantastic paired with your lavash recipe.
Assalamu Alaikum Rafiqa,
I made the Bulgur pula I to with kofta for Iftar and Alhamdulillah my family loved it. Thank you so much for sharing all the mouthwatering recipes. Ramadan Kareem
I’ve made this twice in the past month. I eat it with yogurt and pickle juice as Refika and Bahar recommend. It IS a bit of heaven on earth! Thanks for a great new recipe ladies🥰
what type of yogurt would do; greek?
I'm here because I l❤ve watching Turkish dramas. And whenever a dish is mentioned, I go to TH-cam and type in 'authentic Turkish' recipe of whatever. And your recipes Refika seems to be one of if not the most popular. I enjoy watching you and appreciate the family background of your recipes. More power and God bless what you're doing. Keep it up!! 👍🥳🎊
A fan from 🇬🇧.
Enjoy all of them ❤️ it has been my pleasure to share whatever we have here in Turkey with you guys ✨
I love to see you cook you make it so easy for people who doesn't understand how to cook your culture food thank you it been a joy I could now cook this for my husband
I’m Portuguese and I love your recipes 😍😍🥙
Made it for lunch and I loved it! Didn't had proper pickles, just had kimchi. Interesting combo! Greetings from Cape Town!
Your enthusiasm for your food makes me smile. Thank you for sharing Refika. Love from Australia xx
My grandmother was born in Kapadokia in 1928 but had to travel to Greece in 1934 due to population exchange. She was cooking that dish often, and me as a greek abroad i found myself missing my grandmas cooking just to run into your video! Thank you very much for the recipe and i am really hoping that the channel goes well! All the best!
Did your grandmother come from Pharasa by chance?
@@dumbandunimaginative I unfortunately do not know. She passed away back in 2011 so i am afraid she took all the knowledge with her
@@ninelibass ah okay, well thank you. The reason I ask is because I took St. Arsenios of Cappadocia as my patron saint and he was in Pharasa until the population exchange. I'm always curious and eager to find out more about Pharasa and St. Arsenios, or Hajiphenteis, as some called him.
Bahar’s enthusiasm for the food always makes me smile ☺️
Thank you so much for the recipe I love to eat Bulgur is my favorite food every time when I visit Turkey I eat so much 😊Turkish food is the best ❤️
I bought fat bulgur in Turkish store in Germany and I didn’t know what to do with it.. now I am excited to try making this recipe.
I'm so glad to have found your channel! I'm from Lebanon and given common history, many of our recipes are very similar, including this one. We also eat tomato bulgur with yogurt! Will try your version, though, looks delicious
Thank you Rafika. Love your recipes. I'm American Lebanese but my ancestors are Turkish as you see from my last name. 🌺
Love this woman a lot and love her even more when she posts in English. You truly such an amazing you tuber!
I LOVE bulgur, it almost feels like the "wholemeal" version of rice. I ate it a lot as a rice substitute because it has fewer carbs, more protein and makes you feel full longer.
It goes really good with creamy Greek yoghurt and roast chicken. I'll definitely try this recipe.
Lots of Love from Sweden!
Greek Yoğurt is fake. There is only Turkish Yoğurt. Yoğurt was discovered by Turks
I substitute Bulgur for all rice dishes, no more rice, with experience it will test better than rice. When cooked with broth it is testy.
@@valleyOFwaryou think turks invented curdling milk?! 😂 Ridiculous.
@@bellenesatan you think greeks invented curdling milk?! 😂 Ridiculous.
Cuando fui, me encantó! Así que me traje mucho bulgur conmigo y muero por probar esta receta que nos acabas de compartir! Gracias!
I love ❤️ this here in Quebec we have a Turquish restaurant Maison Istanbul I used to buy their bulgar pilaf very tasty 😋. Thank you 🙏 wait for more receipt . 🥰😍😘
Got my taste for Turkish cuisine while I was in the UK, have loved it ever since.
When people take a vacation to Europe, they’re going for European culture and it’s European ethnic population…. Not for any other reason
@@rezaardavan8752 Well I wasn't exactly on vacation but on work. My project lasted 8 months and although I don't dislike British food it's not something I can eat everyday. My go to food was mostly Indian, Turkish, Lebanese and Thai. Turkish cuisine just stood out for me as healthy and tasty as well. Pity there were no good Iranian restaurants where I lived, have heard a great deal about the cuisine and would love to try it.
@@rezaardavan8752 British people also love to eat Turkish, Indian, Lebanese etc. foods, so it's no issue that he would choose it over British food. North London especially has great, authentic Turkish food and as a Brit, I eat there often 😋.
You're such a natural and delightful cook. O enjoy your passion for teaching others about your culture. Thank you and keep on shining 🙌🏾
First time I ate this in Germany and then in Turkey. I loved this so much that I've bought a packet .. probably it's coarse type. Now I am watching this video to prepare this for the very 1st time. Thank you for the recipe😬😊. I loved Turkish cuisines and the place.❤️
When I lived in NJ my Turkish friends cooked for me. But since I moved to Hawaii, good Turkish food is hard to come by. Since I found your videos they help me to cook my own great Turkish food. I love this recipe a lot. Simple, tasty and healthy! Thank you!!
Finally found a great Turkish food channel. Instantly subscribed. Love from Pakistan
Thank you soooo much 😘
great to watch this .nd yes its "barkat" here in Pakistan...much love from Pakistan🤗🤗❤️❤️Love you all..
I just so love the happy energy the three of you bring to every vlog! Refika you need to google onion goggles. They work! No more tears! Another great recipe! Cheers from Canader eh!
Iam from south korea 🇰🇷 love always brother country Turkey.....best regarts to you and your country.
I love that dish.It is delicious, I’m sure.Guys I really love your channel (I hope it will grow fast☘️🤞🏻) and your personalities.Greetings from Greece.
I managed to do this because of your step by step instructions. Thank you!! Tastes really great
Love seeing the good word of bulgur reaching foreigners
Ate bulgur for The first time last week in a turkish restaurant and was blown away, im making bulgur as i write this comment, its So damn good
My domestic partner and I love your videos. We’re in Rome, Georgia, USA. Though I’ve spent a lot of time in Greece (at the American School) I’ve not ventured to Turkey yet. Keep up the excellent work.
I love this , my Turkish brother in law makes it for me , and I’ve made it a few times , it’s delicious
I'm gonna say this one in Turkish; Muhteşem! Bu güzel yemek için çok teşekkür ederim! 🇺🇸❤️🇹🇷

Hahaha! Google Translate makes so many mistakes. We need more volunteers to help improve it. At best, it gets things right occasionally.
Hello from Italy. Discovered your channel a few days ago. Thank you sooo much!
Thank you from an Italian woman in london uk very gratefull for your video
So welcome 🥰
I love Turkey and love Turkish food. I requested this recipe few weeks ago so thanks and I will try and let you know .😊
I am making second time today and me and my family loved it how it turned out 😊
I found bulgar today in my local supermarket. I’m excited to try this recipe because I’m looking to incorporate more vegetarian dishes into my life. We all need to do our part in saving the environment. Thanks for sharing Refika!
Hello. Greetings from London. I like your recipes. I learn a lot from you. Thank you.
Wonderful präsentation and introducing in the secrets of the dish and culture. Great pictures and lovely guide through the preparation. Go on, everytime a big pleasure, many thanks from Germany and all the best, keep going
Thank you from America !
Love this recipe, thankyou. I cook it each week. I fry off some salmon, flake it, and stir it through the bulgur at the end. With some mushroom/thyme/tamari gravy on the side. Delicious.
I always order this when I get Turkish food because it's so simple and comforting - after I watched yours I went to the shop and got some coarse bulgur to make myself! In Brazil we have our everyday rice and beans but I prefer this one 10000%! Can you do a cig kofte recipe too pls pls pls?
Thank you for the great recipes and your amazing energy
Çiğ köfte is realy hard. You can't make it at home and you have to get an education. (I'm turkish and I have to say most of the Turkish people can't do çiğ köfte. You can do this without education but it will not be good as other variant.)
Your channel is full of bereket❤️ love you , your team, your videos, your kitchen, your tips to make things even better. I never thought I would be craving bulgur pilaf at 3 am but here we are!!!
Hi, I am from Croatia/ Opatija and I have made this bulgur pilav. It is so delicious! Thank you! Best regards!❤
I have made this twice now and we love it. I made kofta with it too and they were amazing. Thank you guys so much for sharing your time and fantastic recipes with us. Take care, stay safe and keep well from UK. Xxx
I just flew on Turkish airlines and they served this dish . I really loved it so now I’m gonna make it . Thank you so much. The only difference is that I’m vegan so no butter for me 😋
Use Earth Balance, Vegan margarine. It's perfect.
I am in love with your channel... OMG... I was in Istanbul 10years ago... I wish I would have the chance to meet you... Such a beautiful place..... You are lucky... Refika... Love your name...
Rafika I love all your recipes 😍 I’ll definitely try this. My mother is Armenian she used to make it for my dad because he loved it. It was a little different but I can’t wait to make this for her to try. Thank you.
Love this! Eating some right now from my local Turkish restaurant, just randomly searched for recipe on TH-cam and found your channel! You have a new subscriber from London 👏🏾👏🏾 Cant wait to learn more recipes from you, thank you!
I have probably watch this video 5 times before finally making it! It’s so delicious.
My boyfriend is from turkey and he’s so overwhelmed how I made it!
Thank you very much ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦😋😋😋
happy meal to you and your bf honey, lots of love! ❤️
Love the way you explain things around your recipes, ingredients, culture, language. Also, the recipes are so well presented that everyone should be inspired to try them out with success. You have a great personality and sense of humour. I will definitely watch more, and for now, start adding chickpeas and mint to my pilaf. Thank you!
😘❤️🧿🙏 thank youuu ..I gave me such a great feeling -to read your comment -- will work hard to keep up the positive feeling you have
@@Refika Just being yourself will do the trick, I suppose ;-) But I know a lot of effort goes into making a video like this, so teşekkürler to everyone involved!
Not only do you show us how to prepare delicious Turkish dishes, you also bring us your culture and depth of knowledge of the ingredients, all bundled in humour. I love your videos!
I was going to say the same thing. Such an amazing presenter 🤗
This is an amazing dish that I will definitely try. Love the hand made plates too. FYI in Ethiopia we also say Berekat for the same situations.
Your videos make me feel like I have a company in my apartment! I'm a fan ever since 2016. And your videos are really homey, informative & helpful! I admire you and your team Refika!
Because of you I discovered Turkish food and even though I have to "translate" some of the recipes into "vegan" I love it. You are easily the most charming chef on TH-cam, just saying. All the best to you and your lovely crew from Mallorca!
Check out the Aegean side!! Most of the recipes from the Aegean region of Turkey are actually vegan. Kapak çiçeği dolması (stuffed zucchini flowers, I believe in English) is unique and tastes delicious.
You're the introduction to veganisable Middle Eastern cuisine that I've been looking for for so long!
High quality, thought out video. Primer on ingredient; its different forms and uses. Then a promising recipe including what to serve it with. What a great culture ambassador!
Thank you from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
It looks delicious and I'm certainly going to try to make it 😋😋😋
