Bulgar or Green Lentil Pilaf with Pinenuts or Almonds

A great side dish when you're in a hurry.

1 cup of whole wheat bulgur or Green lentils
1/4 tsp of sea salt
Water
1 onion thinly sliced
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
3 Tbs pine nuts

Pour enough water over the bulgur so that it covers it by about a 1/2 inch. Stir in salt and bring to boil. Cover and turn down heat to low. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit, covered, until all water is absorbed.

Sauté the onion and pinenuts until the onion is soft.

Before serving spoon the onion and pinenut mixture on top. Both Bulgur & Green Lentil can be made in advance and reheated over low heat.

You can also do this with almond halves instead of the pinenuts.
