LENTIL AND BULGUR PILAF WITH GREEN AND YELLOW SQUASH



Lentil and Bulgur Pilaf With Green and Yellow Squash image

This is typical of lenten dishes from Lebanon. Rich in fiber and nutrients, it makes for a wonderful one dish meal or a substantial side dish. The original comes from a 1997 issue of Eating Well magazine but has been modified to suit my tastes. If you replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth, this is a vegan dish as well.
