Sometimes you don't blog for a couple of weeks and so twice a day. That is a possibility when the publication dates of the Daring kitchen and French Fridays with Dorie are on the same day. Today the recipe is Lemon Barley Pilaf. And this was a challenge. Barley is not very common in the Netherlands. In fact I couldn't find it anywhere. Finally I choose Bulgur instead of Barley, something I didn't try as well before this Friday.
And the recipe was very good. The weather was warm and that's a great addition to this summer recipe. It got lemon, pepper and fish in it.
I found it really great that every ingredient (except the Bulgur) was available in my own meadow. That feels great and tastes great either.
For warm days a great recipe to make (and I did like the Bulgur).
In the next couple of weeks I'm going to make extra recipes from French Fridays with Dorie. I missed quite a lot (and started to late) and the intention is to make the whole book, so that's what I'm trying to achieve. I will cook what's in season however, because that's my goal.
If you want to know what the other Doristas made of it, you can read it on:

It looks beautiful and happy next to the salad :-)
I had to pass on this month's Daring Bakers - which makes me sad, it's the first one I've missed since I started.
I love bulgur, and it looks good with the fish and salad. Will have to try it!
I had to do a catch up post this week as these things are easy to get away from you. I love bulgur and I think this is probably better with it..not that you mention it!
Looks beautiful. We're actually headed to your area of the world soon. Anything we need to see?
Gorgeous photo - looks wonderful! :)
I love bulgur and cook with it quite often. I was actually thinking that this dish would be great with bulgur, and I might actually try that next time because it takes less time to cook. But I did enjoy this with the barley.
Happy to hear that you too are getting some of this fabulous summer weather.
how neat that you used bulgar wheat! :) love that everything else you found in your meadow! great job!
Great use of the bulgar wheat!
I have never tried bulgur, but yours looks fantastic.
Lovely presentation.
Bulgar. I have never tried that (well, I'd never tried barley before except to throw it into some soup). You plate looks delicious - live those little cucumbers peeking out. The fish, yummy.
