Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup bulgur
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1/2 cup grated carrot
- 1/4 cup frozen chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
Bring chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in bulgur; cover. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
Stir in green onions, carrot, chopped onion, salt and garlic powder.
Cook, covered, until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 8 minutes. Spoon into a serving dish. Sprinkle with walnuts.
Secret Tip
If bulgur is priced as an exotic ingredient where you shop or is not available, use orzo, a rice-shaped pasta, instead. Follow the recipe directions, but reduce the cooking time in step 1 to 7 minutes. Add onions, carrot, salt and garlic powder. Cook for 5 minutes longer.
