Ingredients:
3/4 cup diced onions
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup diced bell peppers ( red or green)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups bulgur
3 cups vegetable stock or 3 cups water
1/4 cup toasted ground nuts
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or 1 tablespoon dried basil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh spearmint or 1 1/2 tablespoons dried spearmint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh lovage or 2 tablespoons celery leaves
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper ( to taste)
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
In an ovenproof skillet large enough to contain all the ingredients, saute the onion, carrot, and pepper in the oil.
When the onion and carrot have just softened, add the bulgur and saute for a minute or two, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
Add all of the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil.
Cover and bake for 20 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed.
Served topped with crumbled feta cheese, if desired.
