Ingredients :
12 oz coarse bulgur

1 onion -- finely chopped
5 cups chicken broth or water
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 coils or nests of angel hair pasta -- crushed into ¼ inch small pieces (optional)
Preparation Method :
1. Place pasta on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 350 degrees until it's caramel brown.
2. Place 3 TBS butter in a small heavy saucepot and simmer until it starts to foam and then turn brown--about 4 minutes. It should smell like hazelnuts. Strain thru a fine strainer and set aside.
3. Wash the bulgur and drain.
4. In a large saucepan with a lid, add 2 TBS brown butter and soften the onions by cooking for about 5 minutes. Add bulgur and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add broken pasta and liquid and season with a little salt and pepper. Cook vigorously for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat and simmer until almost all the liquid is absorbed.
5. Remove the pan from the heat. Lift the lid, place a dry dishtowel over it and press the lid down tightly on top. Leave to steam for a further 15-20 minutes. The cloth will absorb all the moisture.
6. Fluff with a fork and serve hot with yogurt and a drizzle more of brown butter.
