Einkorn bulgur pilaf with seafood brings together cracked, parboiled einkorn wheat and seafood, cooked in the pilaf style associated with Turkish and neighbouring cuisines. It is a hearty grain dish that can be adapted to whatever fish or shellfish is fresh and available, rather than a single fixed recipe.
The grains stay pleasantly chewy, with a mild, nutty flavour that works well with the savoury sweetness of seafood and a squeeze of lemon. Serve it hot as a main course, with a crisp salad or simply dressed vegetables. It offers whole-grain carbohydrates alongside seafood protein, and provides 3.2 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of oil and add extra vegetables.
