Bulgur Wheat Pilaf

• 1/2 cup cracked bulgur wheat
• 1 1/2 cups boiling water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 red onion, peeled and chopped (1 1/4 cups)
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled, crushed, and chopped (1 teaspoon)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup frozen baby peas
• 1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter

1. Place bulgur in a heat-proof bowl and pour 1 1/2 cups boiling water over it. Let stand for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until most of the water is absorbed by the wheat. Drain.
2. Heat oil in saucepan. Saute onion for about 3 minutes. Add garlic, salt, pepper. Saute for 10 seconds.
3. Stir the drained bulgur wheat into the onion mixture. Cook for 4-5 minutes. The excess moisture will cook away and then the wheat will begin to brown and become fluffy.
4. Add in the frozen peas. Mix well and cook for about 1 minute longer. Stir in the butter.
5. Serve immediately.
