Notes
Tip: To cook light bulgur, simply place grain in a large bowl, and cover with boiling water. Let stand for about 10 minutes, until bulgur is softened but still slightly chewy. Strain if any water remains. Cook other grains you have in your pantry according to package directions.
Tip: Include any other flavourful add-ins you have on hand, such as black beans, pitted Kalamata olives, chickpeas, baby spinach, shaved Parmesan cheese, shredded Cheddar cheese, or grilled cubes of halloumi.
