Bulgar with String Beans and Walnuts

 

3/4 cup raw bulgur

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 green beans, cut into 1-inch lengths and steamed

3 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts

2 to 3 tablespoons minced fresh dill

Juice of 1 lemon, more or less to taste

2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari, or to taste

freshly ground pepper to taste

 

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 sauté 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.

Makes 6 servings.
