  1. Very good basic recipe, I used it as a base of my dinner. I put in a can of kidney beans, can of tomatoes, some cumin and cayenne pepper to make it a full meal, rather than a side dish. It was delicious and extremely filling. It would be a great side dish without my additions and look forward to using it that way. Thanks for sharing! :)
     
  2. This was really great Winnki! I added about a cup of frozen peas, carrots and corn in after it was finished cooking, just to get more veggies in, and for color, texture appeal. But it was great just as you wrote it! Thanks so much for an easy, healthy and tastey new side dish that will be repeated for years to come! :)
     
  3. This was wonderful! I haven't really used bulgur before, and this was a great & easy way to try it. I can see myself making this many more times. Thanks.
     
  4. Very easy to make! I let the onions carmelize slowly in olive oil and butter over low heat, then toasted the bulgur. Omitted the salt. Served with Recipe #183742, tossed green salad and Recipe #65628. Thanks for posting this recipe!
     
  5. This was great! I used broth instead of the butter or oil, and added some chopped carrots and frozen peas. It was wonderful, and I plan to make it again. Thanks winkki.

  2. A great place to start for my first time using bulgur. I used McCormick beef base instead of boullion granules and added a snack size box of golden raisins and dried cherries at the end with some parsley for color. I'm looking forward to making a variation of this recipe again.
