Frequently Asked Questions About Meyhane Pilaf with Mushrooms and Peppers
What is Meyhane Pilaf with Mushrooms and Peppers?

How do you make Meyhane Pilaf with Mushrooms and Peppers?

What is Meyhane Pilaf with Mushrooms and Peppers?
Meyhane Pilaf with Mushrooms and Peppers is a Turkish bulgur pilaf, cooked with mushrooms and peppers and often flavoured with onion and tomato paste. It takes its name from the meyhane table, where hearty, vegetable-studded pilafs are served alongside other dishes. The bulgur stays pleasantly grainy while the mushrooms soften and add savoury depth.
Serve it warm as a side or as a simple main with salad, pickles or yoghurt; it also works well as part of a shared spread. Bulgur gives the dish fibre and makes it more filling than a plain rice pilaf, while the overall richness depends on how much oil goes into the pan. For a lighter version, use less oil and let the vegetables provide the flavour.
