Bulgur Pilaf With Broccoli and Peppers image

I have recently started the WW Core program which emphasizes whole grains, produce, and a little bit of good oil. Around the same time I started I also re-found a lovely little cookbook that a friend gave me a few years ago called "One Pot Vegetarian Dishes" by Amy Cotler. This pilaf is a modification of a recipe from that book. It needs a little salt and pepper but is a nice main dish or side dish depending on your eating style. The original recipe says it can be served either warm or cold though I have only tried it warm. And the original recipe called for red pepper. As I only had frozen green pepper that is what I used, but feel free to change it.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup broccoli floret, cut small
1 onion, chopped (use a small onion)
2/3 cup frozen green bell peppers or 1 fresh green bell pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup canned tomato
1 cup bulgur
3/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
dried oregano (optional)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
3/4 cup hot water

Steps:

  • Bring a large pan of salted water to boil over high heat.
  • Add the broccoli and cook until it is crip tender but still green, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Drain the broccoli and rinse it briefly under cold water.
  • Using the same pan, add the oil.
  • Then add the onion, garlic, pepper, and oregano if using.
  • (Just use about 1/4 tsp.) Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the onion is translucent which is about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes, bulgur, water, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low.
  • Cover it and cook until all the liquid is absorbed.
  • Start checking at 10 minutes but it may take up to 15.
  • Turn off the heat and add the broccoli and the black beans.
  • Cover the pan and let it sit until the bulgur is tender but still slightly firm.
  • This will take about 10 to 15 minutes.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the bulgur pilaf, and they don't even realize they're eating broccoli and peppers.

This dish was a disappointment. The bulgur was mushy, and the broccoli and peppers were undercooked.

I'm always looking for healthy and delicious vegan meals, and this one fits the bill perfectly. The bulgur pilaf is a great source of fiber and protein, and the broccoli and peppers add a lot of vitamins and minerals.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I made this dish ahead of time and reheated it for dinner. It was just as good the second time around.

I'm allergic to broccoli, so I substituted it with chopped zucchini. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and a handful of chopped fresh herbs.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bulgur pilaf turned out mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I love this recipe! It's a great way to use up leftover bulgur. I usually add some chopped nuts or dried fruit to give it a little extra crunch and flavor.

This bulgur pilaf with broccoli and peppers was a delightful surprise! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the texture was fluffy and light. I especially loved the addition of the roasted peppers, which gave the dish a slightly smoky flavor.
