Preparation
Cook the bulgur
Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add ¾ of the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the bulgur, ¾ cup water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 6 to 8 min., until the bulgur is tender and the water has been absorbed. Fluff the bulgur.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, halve the lemon; thinly slice ½ and juice the remaining ½. Remove the stem ends of the green beans.
Roast the tilapia & green beans
On a lined sheet pan, toss the green beans with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Pat the tilapia dry with paper towel; season with the remaining spices and S&P. Add the tilapia* to the pan and top with the lemon slices and a drizzle of oil. Bake, stirring the green beans halfway, 6 to 10 min., until cooked through.
Make the condimento
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the pistachios, olive miscela, ½ the lemon juice, the remaining garlic, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Finish & serve
To the pot of bulgur, add the remaining lemon juice. Divide the bulgur between your plates. Top with the tilapia and green beans. Spoon the condimento over the tilapia. Bon appétit!
