Step 1

Bring the water to a boil in a small pot and add the bouillon cube, which will begin to dissolve. Reduce the heat to very low to keep warm.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery, sweet potatoes, and garlic, and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, adding small amounts of water to keep the skillet moist.

Step 3

Add the bulgur and sage, stir a minute, then add the apricots and turmeric.

Step 4

Mix well and carefully add the bouillon liquid (it will sizzle and splatter). Cover immediately, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.

Step 5

Fluff the pilaf with a fork, and season with salt and pepper. Top with walnuts and parsley, and serve.
