Pilaf With Tomato Turkish Style Domatesli Pilav Recipes

A very simple tomato-based rice side dish recipe from Turkey. From turkishcookbook.com. A flavorful, freshly picked from the garden, preferably organic tomato works best for this recipe. *Update* 17 June 2011: Last week I prepared this substituting quinoa for the rice. Rinse the quinoa first as directed in Step #1 and proceed with recipe as written. The quinoa was completely cooked and liquid evaporated in about 25 minutes.

Green beans with bulgur pilaf is a recipe that will replace the main course. When I say that it will replace the main course, I try to say that it is a recipe that you can easily prepare a dinner just together with cacık or some kind of salad. You can think of green beans bulgur pilaf as the compact form of bulgur pilaf in addition to the green bean dish. Moreover, it is much easier and much shorter to make green beans bulgur pilaf than to cook green beans and bulgur pilaf. When you make cacık , eggplant salad with yoghurt or vegan salads such as tahini eggplant salad, arugula salad, çoban salata, besides green beans bulgur pilaf, it will be a sufficient dinner for a small family. Of course, if you have a guest, you can expand the menu. Regarding the preparation of the recipe, a question may arise as to whether green beans and bulgur are cooked at the same time. If the green beans you use are not from the ones that cannot be cooked easily, yes, green beans and bulgur are cooked at the same time. Coarse bulgur is not a food that is cooked in a short time. It takes a while to absorb water and soften, which is enough for the green beans to cook. If you are not sure whether the beans are cooked easily, you can chop them into smaller sizes to ensure they will be cooked. Enjoy ... Ingredients: 500 g green beans, chopped coarsely, 1.5 cups of coarse bulgur, washed and drained, 1 onion, chopped, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, 5 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 cups of boiling water, Salt. Preparation: Heat the the oil in a pan, add into the onion and stir fry until softens, Add the chopped fresh beans and mix, Cover the lid and cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the color changes, Add tomato paste and stir fry until it smells good, Add the water, bulgur and the salt and mix, Cover and cook until bulgur and green beans soften. Bon Appetit...

This is a wonderful, mild pilaf made with tomato juice and optional cinnamon. The handkerchief steaming is what makes it authentically Turkish. Because of the steaming, the cook time is 30 minutes longer than just cooking the rice. Cook time also includes cooling time for rinse water.

Einkorn wheat, or siyez wheat in Turkish is among the most popular super foods recently. Although I have doubts that a product that is said to be so rare can really meet this demand, it is without a doubt my duty to meet the increasing demand for recipes made with einkorn products. The reason why einkorn wheat is so accepted is that it is not genetically modified, its gluten rate is low (but it still contains gluten and is not suitable for people with celiac) and it is digestive system friendly. While wheat has these features, bulgur made of it has not less featured. Einkorn bulgur is also considered to be healthier than other bulgurs. The appearance of einkorn bulgur is slightly different from the others. It is not a chubby grain like the thick bulgur we know, but a finer long grain. Even though it gives the impression that it will be cooked in a shorter time by looking at this image, it does not. It requires the same amount of water and time. I cannot say that there is an obvious difference in flavor. If you attach great meanings to einkorn bulgur and believe that it is very special, you will surely think that its flavor is also unique. But when I taste objectively, there is no big flavor difference from the bulgur we know. You can clearly feel that you are eating something else only because it is smaller grained. How to Cook Einkorn Bulgur? You do not need special recipes to use einkorn bulgur. You can use einkorn bulgur in every dish you use bulgur (see zuchini dish with bulgur) and in every pilaf (see bulgur pilaf). In fact, the biggest purpose of sharing this recipe was to share this information. Because the recipe is not different from my other bulgur pilaf recipes. Enjoy the recipe... Ingredients: 1 cup eirkorn bulgur, 1 onion, 1 green pepper, 2 medium tomatoes, 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, 2 cups of boiling water, Salt.
