I recently read an article that couscous, unless whole wheat (which is hard to find) is like giving your family white pasta or rice, so I have been looking for other side dishes that are high in fiber and better for the family, but quick and easy to make like couscous.
I found one, and the ingredients come in bulk and are cheap at Ocean State Job lot. You will need to buy Red Mill flaxxseeds and Bulgar wheat, all sold at job lot, if you do not like this recipe I will buy the left overs from you (and the flaxseed made a great breat too, recipe on the package)
Bulgar and Flax Pilaf
2 tbsp butter (Iused olive oil)
1 cup bulgar wheat
1/4 cup flaxxseed
1/3 cup minsed onion (I used 1 small onion)
1 small tomato, diced
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp italian seasoning
Directions:
in a medium sauce pan, melt butter (or heat oil) over medium heat, add bulgar wheat, flaxseed and onions. Stir until Bulgar is golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Stir in tomatoes, chicken broth, salt and italian seasoning. Cover, bring to a boil then lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until brooth is absorbed. Fluff with a fork, and then let stand for a few minutes before serving.
Joey ate a whole bowl and then had seconds. enjoy and let me know what you think.
