Wednesday
Bulgar, spinach and apricot pilaf
Adding a twist to the Middle-Eastern Pilaf by replacing rice with the more chewy bulgar wheat grains, this is a meal that is filled with sharp flavours and interesting textures. Great as a meal on its own but also works really well as an accompaniment to curries and stews.
