BULGUR PILAF WITH MIXED GREENS AND GARLIC
This recipe is from Nizip, in southeastern Turkey. The secret is cutting the greens into thin strips and steaming them with the bulgur so the grains become infused with the flavor. This is best prepared with Tuscan kale, which is also called black, lacinato or dinosaur kale. Sweet greens include spinach, mache, Swiss chard, pea shoots, young nettles, lamb's quarters and salad burnet. Earthy greens include turnip, beat and collard greens and Tuscan and Russian kale.

BULGUR PILAF WITH BROCCOLI AND PEPPERS
I have recently started the WW Core program which emphasizes whole grains, produce, and a little bit of good oil. Around the same time I started I also re-found a lovely little cookbook that a friend gave me a few years ago called "One Pot Vegetarian Dishes" by Amy Cotler. This pilaf is a modification of a recipe from that book. It needs a little salt and pepper but is a nice main dish or side dish depending on your eating style. The original recipe says it can be served either warm or cold though I have only tried it warm. And the original recipe called for red pepper. As I only had frozen green pepper that is what I used, but feel free to change it.
