Bulgur is delicious with lightly browned onion and cabbage. The green beans add a companionable flavor and texture.

　　

Ingredients

6 servings

　　1 cup raw bulgur

　　2 tablespoons light olive oil

　　1 large red or yellow onion, quartered and thinly sliced

　　One 8-ounce package shredded coleslaw cabbage

　　One 10-ounce package frozen French-cut green beans, thawed

　　Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

　　

Step 1

Boil 2 cups water. Pour the water over the bulgur in a heatproof container. Cover and let stand until the water is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Or combine the water and bulgur in a small saucepan and simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

　　

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large skillet or stir-fry pan. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until translucent. Layer the cabbage and green beans over the onions, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Then uncover, turn the heat up to medium-high, and sauté, stirring frequently until all the vegetables are lightly and evenly browned.

　　

Step 3

Transfer the cooked bulgur to the skillet and stir it in. Sauté for another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
