Bulgur Pilaf With Broccoli and Peppers

By Beefman-2

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.

Ingredients

• 1 cup broccoli floret, cut small
• 1 onion, chopped (use a small onion)
• 2/3 cup frozen green bell peppers or 1 fresh green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup canned tomato
• 1 cup bulgur
• 3/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• dried oregano (optional)
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste
• 3/4 cup hot water
