Middle Eastern Bulgur and Chickpea

Middle Eastern Bulgur and Chickpeas


Bulgur is such and easy grain to make. It really only needs to sit in the boiling liquid for about 25 minutes before it is ready to eat. This dish has a bit of a Middle Eastern flair with the addition of raisins and cinnamon to it.







Ingredients

1 large onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 tsp garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp red chili flakes
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cumin
1 1/2 tsp vegetable stock powder
1/4 tsp black pepper

1 1/2  cups water
1 19 oz. can chickpeas, undrained ( there should be about 1/2 cup liquid)
1 cup brown bulgur
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 Tblsp vinegar

Saute onion, adding as little water as necessary.

Once onion is soft, add in the peppers, garlic, spices and vegetable stock powder. Cook until peppers are soft.

Add in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Turn off heat, cover and let sit 25 minutes until bulgur is soft and all liquid has been absorbed.

Enjoy!
