BULGUR WITH CRIMINI MUSHROOMS
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!

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!

MUSHROOM AND OLIVE BRUSCHETTA
I tried this delicious bruschetta toast at a party and knew I had to make it myself. Since I couldn't find the person who brought the dish, I began trying to duplicate it on my own. The original was made on an English muffin, but party rye or baguette slices work as well. -Lynne German, Woodland Hills, California

BULGUR STUFFING WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND DRIED MUSHROOMS

Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- In a bowl pour boiling water over mushrooms and soak 30 minutes. In a 4-quart saucepan sauté onion in 2 tablespoons butter over moderately high heat, stirring, until softened. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in bulgur and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 8 minutes.
- Trim and quarter Brussels sprouts. In a large non-stick skillet heat remaining 6 tablespoons butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and sauté Brussels sprouts, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes.
- Remove mushrooms from water, squeezing out excess liquid, and reserve soaking liquid. Rinse mushrooms to remove any grit and coarsely chop. Line a sieve set over a bowl with a dampened paper towel or coffee filter and strain reserved soaking liquid into bowl. Chop parsley.
- In a large bowl toss together bulgur mixture, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, 1/2 cup strained soaking liquid, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste and cool completely. Stuffing may be made up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring stuffing to room temperature before proceeding.
- For cooking stuffing inside poultry:
- Any frozen poultry destined for stuffing should be completely thawed, and the stuffing itself brought to room temperature before it's put into the turkey. Do not stuff your bird the night before you cook it; such a seeming time-saver can have dangerous results. Instead, it is best to loosely fill the bird's neck and body cavities immediately before roasting. And always use a meat or instant-read thermometer: The meat is done when the temperature of the thickest part of the thigh (be careful not to touch the bones) reaches 180°F.; the stuffing baked inside the bird is done at 160°F.-165°F. After roasting, let your stuffed poultry stand 15 to 20 minutes, a double assurance that the requisite temperatures for food safety have been reached.
- For cooking all or part of stuffing outside poultry:
- In a shallow baking dish bake stuffing, covered, in a 325° F. oven 40 minutes (do not uncover during baking).
Tips:
- Use a good quality bulgur: Look for bulgur that is made from whole wheat kernels that have been cracked and ground. This will give your dish a better flavor and texture.
- Rinse the bulgur before cooking: This will remove any dirt or debris that may be present.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use to cook the bulgur will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Use a vegetable broth, chicken broth, or beef broth, depending on your preference.
- Add vegetables and other ingredients: You can add a variety of vegetables and other ingredients to your bulgur dish, such as onions, garlic, mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers, and olives. This will make your dish more flavorful and nutritious.
- Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Bulgur with olives and mushrooms is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins. This dish is also easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious meal, give bulgur with olives and mushrooms a try.
