Brown Rice And Bulgur
I don't remember where i found this, but it's a staple around our house now. It's chewy, kind of nutty, and very filling. It's also very easy (as long as i think about it at least an hour before i need it!) it's an easy side dish as is, upgrades easily to a pilaf (see directions below), works well under meats and sauces, leftovers go great in soup, and it is even good with a little sugar, cinnamon, and cream over it for breakfast or dessert! So many possibilities with so few ingredients. ;o)
