Bulgur, Apricot, and Pine Nut Dressing
2.9
(6)

Sweet and sour dried apricots and creamy feta brighten this dressing, for a lively contrast with the more soothing Thanksgiving dishes usually on the table.
Bulgur can be made, without pine nuts, feta, and parsley, 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat in a heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, before adding remaining ingredients.

Preparation
Step 1
Heat oil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook pine nuts, stirring constantly, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
Step 2
Add onion to pan, then reduce heat to moderately low and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 6 minutes. Add bulgur and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in water, apricots, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Remove pan from heat and let stand, covered, until bulgur is tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in nuts, feta, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
