MENU PLAN: Accompany these pitas with a sliced cucumber and tomato salad.

 

1. Preheat over to 300F. In medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a

boil. Remove from heat, stir in bulgur and let sit, covered, until tender,

10 to 15 minutes (it will still be a bit chewy).

 

2. Meanwhile, heat pitas in warm oven. Transfer bulgur to large bowl, and

add curry powder, balsamic vinegar, garlic, scallions, grapes, cranberries

and bell pepper, stirring well.

 

3. In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add bulgur mixture, and

cook, stirring, until hot. Remove from heat, and stir in feta. Stuff

lettuce and mixture into each pita.
