Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the butter in a heavy saucepan and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until the onion is wilted. Add the rice and bulgur and cook, stirring briefly, without browning, until grains of rice are covered with butter.
- Step 2
Add the broth, currants, allspice, salt and pepper. Stir. Cover closely and cook the mixture over low heat until the liquid is absorbed, about 17 minutes.
- Step 3
Top each serving with a spoonful of yogurt and a small sprinkling of toasted pine nuts or almonds.
- Coarse, medium and fine bulgur is available in many specialty shops that deal in imported foods. One source in Manhattan is the International Groceries and Meat Market, 529 Ninth Avenue (at 40th Street).

This is great. I made it with basmati rice and served it with Joan Nathan's Libyan Aharaimi (Fish in Tomato Sauce). The sauce is outstanding with this rice.
