Directions
Place bulgur in a small bowl and couscous in a large bowl. Pour 1 cup of boiling chicken stock over bulgur and let stand for 15 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Add 2 tbs butter to remaining chicken stock and cook until butter is melted, then pour over couscous and let stand for 10 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork, add bulgur and fluff again to combine. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt remaining butter. Add leeks and carrots and saut over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 5-8 minutes, until the leeks are wilted but not brown. Add to the couscous-bulgur mixture. Add the peas and salt plus a liberal amount of freshly ground black pepper. Add the chives and toss the mixture with two forks to combine. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot.
