BULGUR PILAF WITH BROCCOLI AND PEPPERS
I have recently started the WW Core program which emphasizes whole grains, produce, and a little bit of good oil. Around the same time I started I also re-found a lovely little cookbook that a friend gave me a few years ago called "One Pot Vegetarian Dishes" by Amy Cotler. This pilaf is a modification of a recipe from that book. It needs a little salt and pepper but is a nice main dish or side dish depending on your eating style. The original recipe says it can be served either warm or cold though I have only tried it warm. And the original recipe called for red pepper. As I only had frozen green pepper that is what I used, but feel free to change it.

Tips:
- Use a good quality bulgur. Look for bulgur that is made from whole wheat and has a nutty flavor. Avoid bulgur that is made from white flour, as it will have a less flavorful and nutritious dish.
- Rinse the bulgur before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris and will also help to prevent the bulgur from sticking together.
- Cook the bulgur according to the package directions. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of bulgur you are using.
- Fluff the bulgur with a fork before serving. This will help to separate the grains and make the bulgur light and fluffy.
- Add your favorite vegetables to the bulgur pilaf. Some good options include broccoli, peppers, onions, tomatoes, and carrots.
- Season the bulgur pilaf to taste. You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and other spices to flavor the dish.
- Serve the bulgur pilaf as a side dish or main course. It can also be used as a stuffing for vegetables or poultry.
Conclusion:
Bulgur pilaf is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. It is also a good source of fiber and protein. With its nutty flavor and chewy texture, bulgur pilaf is a great addition to any meal.
