2 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
1 Clove (large) garlic; minced
2 tablespoons Pine nuts
½ cup Bulgur; or cracked wheat
1 cup Meat stock
Salt and pepper

Directions

Melt butter in medium pot. Saute garlic and nuts over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until nuts are lightly browned.

Add bulgur and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes or until the grains are well coated with the butter. Add the broth and turn heat up to high. Stir once. When mixture begins to boil, reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes (see note). Season.

Note - if you are using instant or quick-cooking bulgur, follow directions on box.

Variations: Add raisins, and or onions. Add chopped dates. Mix bulgur with small pasta, like orzo. Use beef broth for a strong flavor, chicken for a milder flavor. Add diced carrots and celery.
