I've found 2 bright spots to the dismal months of fall.
1. less full drawers due to moving out the vast quantity of summer shirts
2. the ever-faithful palate delighting taste of bulgur
Bulgur is great any time of year, but I'm throwing fall a bone by letting it have this piece de resistance. That's franglish, in case you were wondering. Anyway, you can treat this lovely grain as you would rice, though I'm not sure about rice pudding. I saute it with onion and garlic in olive oil. Add homemade chicken broth and loads of eggplant, plenty of pepper finds its way in...cook, cook, cook till all the liquid is absorbed. Throw in frozen corn for visual appeal, maybe some broccoli, or collards (they'd get sautéed first) or spinach...it is glorious.
You can add ground beef during the sauteing, YUM!!! And so healthy.
Sorry, no time for a picture. But try this low glycemic index, high protein meal soon. You won't be disappointed. (don't forget some salt, it's needed).
