Categories     side dish

Time 40m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 ounce dried mushrooms
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 pound onion, diced
2 medium stalks celery, diced
1/4 pound fresh wild mushrooms, preferably cremini, shiitake and chanterelle
1 1/2 cups bulgur
1 3/4 to 2 1/4 cups beef stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup toasted pecans, coarsely chopped
Parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Soak dried mushrooms in hot water to cover.
  • Heat butter in a skillet large enough to hold all ingredients. Saute onion and celery until soft.
  • Meanwhile, clean and slice fresh mushrooms. When onion and celery are cooked, push them to side of pan and saute fresh mushrooms until they begin to color, 4 or 5 minutes.
  • Squeeze liquid from dried mushrooms and stir them into the pan. Reserve mushroom-soaking liquid.
  • Stir in bulgur and cook over medium heat until bulgur begins to color.
  • Stir in beef stock and 1/4 cup of mushroom liquid. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook about 10 minutes, until bulgur grains soften. Season with salt and pepper. Add more mushroom liquid if needed. Freeze if desired.
  • To serve, defrost and bring to room temperature. Reheat in 350-degree oven, covered, about 20 minutes, until steaming. Stir in toasted pecans and decorate with parsley.

BULGUR WITH CRIMINI MUSHROOMS



Bulgur With Crimini Mushrooms image

I just threw this together one day and now I make it pretty frequently. It's hearty, but not heavy, so very good for a quick lunch. Crimini mushrooms are the same thing as baby portabella, you can use the big ones too and cut them up but I think the small ones are easier to deal with. If you don't have mushroom stock, you can use any good vegetable stock. This is especially good with a little grated Parmesan on top!

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
3 cups chopped crimini mushrooms
2 cups mushroom stock
1 cup bulgur
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leave
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. When hot, put in the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion turns translucent (a couple minutes).
  • Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes. If the mushrooms give off liquid, cook and stir until the liquid evaporates.
  • Add the stock, bulgur, rosemary, thyme, and a good amount of black pepper. Bring to a boil.
  • Cover, lower the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the liquid is all absorbed and the bulgur is cooked, about 15 minutes.
  • If your stock is not salted, you may want to give it a sprinkling of salt before serving. You may also want to garnish it with additional fresh herbs or a grating of Parmesan. Enjoy!

BULGUR WITH MUSHROOMS AND ALMONDS



Bulgur with Mushrooms and Almonds image

I got this recipe with my Mastercook program. Apparently it originally came from Cook's Magazine, June 1990. Bulgur makes a tasty change from rice. I serve this either a leafy green vegetable or a tossed green salad. The 0 minutes prep time assumes that you buy your mushrooms already sliced and you can find toasted slivered almonds. If not, it is about 10 minutes

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 quart vegetable broth
2 1/2 cups bulgur
5 tablespoons olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces mushrooms
1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Bring broth to a boil in a large saucepan and slowly add the bulgur without stirring.
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes, until the bulgur is tender.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a small saucepan until it is hot, but not quite smoking, and immediately pour the oil over the bulgur.
  • Cover the large saucepan again and simmer until the bulgur is dry and tender.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • While the bulgur and oil are simmering, heat a large skillet and add the remaining oil.
  • Sauté the mushrooms until lightly browned.
