Bulgur and Garbanzos

From Deborah Palmer of A Movable Feast

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup raw bulgur wheat
  • 3 Tbsp canola, olive or grapeseed oil (2 Tbsp for the bulgur and 1 Tbsp for the garbanzos)
  • 2 cups stock (vegetable or chicken)
  • 1 bay leaf (remove before serving)
  • 1 tsp dill seeds
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce (tamari is good)
  • 1 can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup yogurt

METHOD

  • Heat a medium size pan, then add 2 Tbsp of oil.
  • Sauté the bulgur in the oil for about 5 minutes until it sizzles and is slightly brown. Add more oil if it sticks to the pan.
  • Add the stock, bay leaf, dill seeds and soy sauce to the bulgur.
  • Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer until all of the stock is absorbed.
  • While the bulgur is cooking, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a second pan and sauté the garbanzos for about 10 minutes or until toasty.
  • When the bulgur is cooked, remove the pan from the heat, stir in the yogurt and allow the mixture to stand for a few minutes until all the grains absorb the yogurt.
  • Stir the toasted garbanzos through the grain and serve warm.
