Title: Spicy bulgar pilaf
Post by: Lizilu20 on May 08, 2013, 12:37:38 PM: Hi all,

Has anyone got the recipe for the spicy bulgar pilaf (or similar) to the one served at Hunkar? I'm attempting to make it for dinner tonight with lamb kofte, ezme, cacik, flatbread and spicy beetroot, yum yum!!

If I can't get to Kalkan until August, then Kalkan can come to me!! :)

Otherwise try:

looks similar.

Bob.....how on earth did you do that? :)

I dont mind the extra protein but, it's trying to get them to stay in the pan.

I made the spicy bulgar from a combination of BL and B&J' s links and while it wasn't as succulent looking as Bob's giant pic, it was really really good, I made enough to feed just about all the members on EK, so have enjoyed it today as well as last night and enough for tomorrow too!! ;D
Turac has also said that if we go early to hunkar, we can have a cookery lesson on how to make it!
