Bulgur is one of my favorite grains and I'm always interested in new ways to incorporate it into my meals. This treatment was quick and easy to prepare using readily accessible ingredients. But the real joy was the results as the ingredients came together in perfect harmony. I used Fordhook lima beans in lieu of the broad beans and simmered the stew rather than baking it. This treatment requires doubling the broth and cooking for 20 minutes but worked just fine (and one less pan to clean). A light garnish or feta cheese and a perfect meal was born. Made for Pick A Chef Spring 2009.
