       1  teaspoon      olive oil                                             
       1  small         onion, -- finely chopped                              
       1  cup           medium or coarse bulgur                               
       2  cups          defatted reducedsodium chicken broth, -- heated       
     1/4  cup           currants                                              
       2  tablespoons   pine nuts, -- toasted                                 
                        Salt to taste                                         
                                                                              

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a heavy, ovenproof 2 1/2 or 3quart saucepan,
heat oil over moderate heat. Add onions and sauté, stirring, until soft but
not brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Add bulgur and sauté 1 minute, stirring constantly,
until the grains are coated with oil.

Add chicken broth and currants and bring to a boil, stirring. Cover and bake
in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed
and the bulgur is tender. Do not stir during this time.

Fluff the pilaf by tossing it briefly with two forks. Stir in pine nuts.
Taste, adding salt if necessary.

Yield: 4 serving
