-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3/4 cup raw bulgur

(presteamed cracked wheat)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large onion -- quartered and

-- sliced

2 cloves garlic -- minced

1 cup sliced mushrooms

1 cup canned or cooked navy beans

2 cups slender string beans

cut into 1-inch lengths

and steamed crisp-tender

3 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts

2 tablespoons minced fresh dill -- up to 3

1 lemon -- Juice of

more or less to taste

2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari -- or to taste

freshly round pepper -- to taste

 

6 to 8 servings

 

The bulgur is filling and hearty, but the lemony flavor and the young

string beans give this dish its touch of spring.

 

Place the bulgur in a heatproof dish. Pour 1 1/2 cups of boiling water

over it and cover until the water is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Fluff

with a fork.

 

Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok. Add the onion and saute until

translucent. Add the garlic and continue to saute until the onion is

lightly browned. Add the mushrooms; cover and sweat " until they are

wilted. Stir in the bulgur and all remaining ingredients and cook over low

heat, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Transfer to a covered casserole

dish to serve.
