Bulgur Pilaf with Roasted Chestnuts and Tangerine Brown Butter

/

Other than having undersalted the bulgur and grabbing the skillet handle without an oven mitt just after removing it from the oven (WTF??!!?!?) , this was good as usual. Though it's not called for, I add a generous 2-3 tablespoons of tangerine juice to the brown butter mixture; it calls just for zest but I don't find that substantial enough.
