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
