EQUIPMENT

  • 1 pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Bulgur medium grain
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • ⅛ cup yellow onions chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ⅛ cup carrots peels that are chopped
  • 1 tbsp dill fresh or dry

Instructions
 

  • Start by peeling and chopping your carrot peels. Then mince the garlic and chop the onions. In a measuring cup add the chicken broth and tomato paste. Whisk them together.
    1 clove garlic, 1/8 cup carrots, 1/8 cup yellow onions
  • In a measuring cup add the chicken broth and tomato paste. Whisk them together. Then set aside.
    1 cup chicken broth, 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • In a pot on medium heat add some avocado spray and sauté the onions for 2 minutes until they're translucent. Then add the garlic and carrots. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Next, reduce the heat to a low simmer. Add your mixture of chicken broth and tomato paste. Then pour in the Bulgur and add the chopped dill. Stir together and put the lid in your pot. Simmer on the lowest heat for 10 minutes, then take the pot off the burner.
    1 cup Bulgur, 1 tbsp dill
  • Immediately remove from the heat. Fluff with a fork and serve or keep covered. Garnish with extra dill.

Notes

  • if using dried dill, just use 1/2 Tbsp
  • I prefer medium grain bulgur over fine grain for this recipe
  • if the heat is up too high, the liquid will reduce too quickly. Keep the pot on medium heat and then reduce to the lowest setting. If this happens you can add an additional 1/4 cup of chicken broth.
