Steps

  1. Prep & cook pilaf. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pot on medium-high heat. Cook onion for about 5 minutes, until softened and caramelised. Add bulgur salad spices, first measure of garlic and bulgur wheat and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Add asparagus, second measure of stock and raisins, reduce heat to low and cook for 2-3 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat. Add 1 Tbsp of olive oil and almonds to pan and toss to combine. Season to taste.
