Preparation

Step 1
Rinse the bulgur in cold water and drain well.
Step 2
Put the butter in a small saucepan and add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring briefly, until onion is wilted.
Step 3
Add the bulgur and blend well. Add the broth, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Cover closely and let simmer 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally from the bottom to prevent sticking. Cook just until all the liquid is absorbed.
