Bulgur with Veggies

Once, I was getting bulgur at the grocery store when someone asked me how I cook it. It’s not a quick answer because there are so many ways to cook this grain. Bulgur is a whole grain made from cracked wheat. It’s packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Bulgur is rich in fiber, may reduce chronic disease risk, promote weight loss, and improve digestion and gut health. Plus, bulgur is easy to cook and can be added to many dishes, including salads, stews, and breads.

If you’ve never made bulgur, you should start with this recipe:

You will need:
– 2 cups bulgur
– 3.5 cups water or broth
– 1 sweet onion, diced
– 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 red pepper and 1 green pepper, diced
– 2 tsp olive oil
– 1 tsp butter
– Mix of spices: 1/8 tsp each of turmeric, paprika, coriander, dried oregano, salt, and pepper

1. Start by preheating a pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted, add the onion and garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until golden.
2. Add the spices and mix well. Then add the diced peppers, mix, and cover to sauté for 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the bulgur and broth, and mix well. Cover the pan and cook over medium to low heat for 25 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.
4. Mix well and serve with any preferred protein.

Don’t forget to save the recipe.

Enjoy!
