Fraykee with Pine Nuts

Description

You can find fraykee in many Middle Eastern stores or you can do as I have done: Substitute bulgur and toast it before using in the recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Coarse bulgur
• 2 cup Cold water
• 1 pch Ground cinnamon
• Salt to taste

GARNISH

• 1/4 cup Pine Nuts
• 2 tbl Butter

Directions

1. Heat a dry wok or heavy frying pan and stir the bulgur wheat until toasty and fragrant, just a few minutes.
2. In a 2-quart covered pot place the bulgur, water, cinnamon and salt. Bring to a boil with the lid off. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for a few minutes. Turn off the heat. Allow to sit in the pot for 5 minutes before removing the lid.
3. Pan-toast the pine nuts in 2 tablespoons butter.
4. Serve the fraykee in a large bowl, topped with the toasted pine nuts.
5. This recipe serves 4 as a starch dish.
