Description

Don’t let the word “bulgur” scare you. It really is a friendly grain.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Vegetable Broth
  • ¾ cups Bulgur
  • 1 pinch Saffron
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra-vrgin Olive Oil
  • 1 cup White Onion, Finely Diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 whole Small Hot Chile Pepper, Minced
  • ½ cups Red Bell Pepper, Diced
  • 1 whole Zucchini, Halved Crosswise, Then Lengthwise, Then Into Thin Half Moons
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
  • ¼ cups Lemon Juice
  • 1 cup Fresh Cilantro
  • 2 cups Arugula
  • 3 Tablespoons Soft Goat Cheese
  • ¼ cups Sunflower Seeds, Toasted
  • ½ teaspoons Coarse Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Freshly Ground Pepper

Preparation

Bring the veggie broth to a boil and add the bulgur. Stir to combine and add the saffron. Cook 10 minutes then remove from heat.

Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium. Add the onion, garlic and chile pepper and cook about 5 minutes, until softening. Add the bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes and the lemon juice. Cook another 10 minutes, then toss in half of the cilantro. Go ahead and add the arugula at this point. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in half the goat cheese. (I KNOW.) Add the veggie mixture to the bulgur and stir to combine.

Serve with remaining cilantro, goat cheese and toasted sunflower seeds. Salt and pepper to taste. Wawndaful!

I didn’t spring for the saffron, but the flavor from the broth, onion, garlic, and cilantro was enough for me. The amount of broth was too much to be fully absorbed by the bulgur, so I may scale back next time. I also just sprinkled a little Parmesan on top instead of goat cheese. Thumbs up from both me and my boyfriend!
