In Doy’s garden

Log it in Doydum and a row of wheat sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Bulgur pilaf is coarse cracked wheat cooked in stock with onion, tomato or pepper paste and a little butter or oil. It is a common side to stews, kebabs and grilled meat across Turkey, with a nutty, slightly chewy bite.

Most of the difference between recipes is the butter or oil in the pot, so weigh what lands on your plate.
