Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Faire revenir oignon

    Épluche et émince finement l’oignon. Dans la poêle chaude avec l’huile, fais-le revenir à feu moyen jusqu’à ce qu’il devienne translucide, environ 3 min.

  2. Cuire poulet coupé

    Découpe le poulet en petits cubes. Ajoute-les dans la poêle avec l’oignon et fais-les dorer à feu moyen-vif pendant 5 min en remuant souvent.

  3. Ajouter carottes râpées

    Épluche les carottes et râpe-les grossièrement. Incorpore-les dans la poêle avec le poulet et l’oignon, mélange bien et laisse cuire 2 min à feu moyen.

  4. Verser boulgour et eau

    Ajoute le boulgour dans la poêle et mélange 1 min pour qu’il s’imprègne des saveurs. Verse 300 ml d’eau bouillante, sale légèrement et porte à ébullition.

    Tip · Si tu veux un boulgour plus moelleux, utilise de l’eau bouillante pour éviter de refroidir la préparation.

  5. Laisser mijoter couvert

    Baisse le feu au minimum, couvre la poêle et laisse mijoter 12 min sans toucher. Le boulgour doit absorber l’eau et devenir tendre.

  6. Rectifier assaisonnement

    Goûte et ajuste le sel et le poivre si besoin. Si le mélange est trop sec, ajoute un peu d’eau chaude.

    Tip · Pour une texture plus fondante, écrase légèrement quelques morceaux de poulet avec le dos de la cuillère pendant la cuisson.

  7. Éteindre et reposer

    Retire du feu, couvre et laisse reposer 2 min. Cela permet au boulgour de finir d’absorber les liquides et de gonfler légèrement.
