Bulgur Pilaf with Kale and Tomatoes image

Enjoy a combination of nutritious vegetables and a whole grain all in one easy side dish. It goes equally well with Broiled Sirloin with Chile-Roasted Onions (page 176), Herb Chicken with Panko-Pecan Crust (page 148), or Wine-Poached Salmon (page 109).

Yield Serves 4; 3/4 cup per serving

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced lengthwise
2 cups Chicken Broth (page 50) or commercial fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups chopped kale
3/4 cup uncooked bulgur
1 medium garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 medium Italian plum (Roma) tomato, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the onion for 3 minutes, or until soft, stirring frequently.
  • Stir in the broth, kale, bulgur, garlic, pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil, still over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 12 minutes, or until the bulgur is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the tomato. Cook for 1 minute, or until heated through. Remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice.
  • Instead of the kale, you can use spinach in this recipe. Add the spinach with the tomato, stirring just until the spinach wilts.
