Braised Bulgur and Cabbage


4 servings

This is an Asian flavored side dish that combines vegetables and a whole grain.

Ingredients:

2 tsp. olive oil
3/4 cup bulgur
1 large onion, chopped
2 cups chopped green cabbage
2 cups sliced carrots
1-1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, defatted
1 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari, plus more to taste
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1. In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add bulgur, onion, cabbage and carrots; cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 1 minute.
2. Add broth and soy sauce (or tamari); bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until bulgur is tender and broth is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes. Adjust seasoning with soy sauce.
3. Transfer mixture to a serving bowl. Top with peanuts and sprinkle with parsley.
