Ingredients

Directions

  1. Sliver, toast & cool almonds. Chop shallots coarsely. Halve & pit apricots.
  2. Place 3 cups water and bulgur in medium saucepan; sprinkle with salt. Bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until bulgur is tender but still slightly chewy, stirring occasionally, 11 to 12 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold water until cool. Drain well. Transfer to large bowl.
  3. Meanwhile, place parsley, almonds, shallots, and 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice in processor. Using on/off turns, process until parsley is coarsely chopped. With machine running, gradually add 1/2 cup oil and process to coarse puree. Season pesto to taste with salt and pepper.
