Ingredients:
1 cup broccoli florets, cut small
1 onions, chopped ( use a small onion)
2/3 cup frozen green bell peppers or 1 fresh green bell peppers, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup canned tomatoes
1 cup bulgur
3/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
dried oregano (optional)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
3/4 cup hot water
Directions:
Bring a large pan of salted water to boil over high heat.
Add the broccoli and cook until it is crip tender but still green, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Drain the broccoli and rinse it briefly under cold water.
Using the same pan, add the oil.
Then add the onion, garlic, pepper, and oregano if using.
(Just use about 1/4 tsp.) Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the onion is translucent which is about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, bulgur, water, and salt and pepper to taste.
Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low.
Cover it and cook until all the liquid is absorbed.
Start checking at 10 minutes but it may take up to 15.
Turn off the heat and add the broccoli and the black beans.
Cover the pan and let it sit until the bulgur is tender but still slightly firm.
This will take about 10 to 15 minutes.
