Bulgur Mexicana
This is an extremely healthy--and delicious--meatless meal that is a favorite in our household.
Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp oil
- 1 med. onion chopped
- 1 c. bulgur You may have to shop around to find bulgur. Bulgur wheat should be a whole grain, in its unprocessed form.
- 1 large stalk celery chopped
- ½ green or red pepper diced
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- ¾ tsp. ground cumin
- 2¼ c. vegetable stock Or for more flavor, I use water & one beef bouillon cube
Condiments
- cheddar cheese shredded
- green onions diced
- alfalfa sprouts (we often skip these)
- sunflower seeds
- sour cream
- 1 tomato diced
- salsa
Instructions
- Place oil in frying pan. Add onions and bulgur and cook, stirring occasionally until onion soft and bulgur is golden (7-8 min.). (The bulgur grains will crack during this frying process.)
- Stir in next celery, peppers and spices and cook for 2 minutes.
- Pour in stock and bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until liquid absorbed. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve at the table with condiments that people can add on top of the bulgur to taste: shredded cheddar cheese, alfalfa sprouts, green onions, sunflower seeds, sour cream, diced tomato, salsa.
Notes
This serves 3. We usually double the recipe, because it's a favorite meal and it makes for great leftovers.
