Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g / 0.18 oz) minced garlic
  • 8 ounces (225 g / 7.9 oz) sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup (180 g / 6.3 oz) bulgur wheat
  • 2 cups (475 ml) hot vegetable broth
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 14-ounce / 400 g (14.1 oz) can petite diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 tablespoon (4 g / 0.14 oz) chopped fresh dill or parsley
  • Boost the Protein: For an even heartier meal, stir in a can of rinsed and drained white beans or chickpeas along with the tomatoes.
  • Save on Prep Time: Use a package of pre-sliced mushrooms to get this dish on the table even faster.
  • Herb Variations: Don't have dill or parsley? Fresh mint, cilantro, or a sprinkle of dried oregano would also be delicious.

Method
 

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking and stirring until they have softened and released their moisture, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Toast the Bulgur: Stir in the bulgur wheat and toast for about one minute until it becomes fragrant.
  4. Simmer the Pilaf: Pour in the hot vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, season generously with salt and pepper, cover, and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bulgur is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.
  6. Finish and Serve: Stir in the drained diced tomatoes and the chopped fresh dill or parsley.
  7. Cook for an additional 3 minutes to heat the tomatoes through and allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Serve immediately.
  9. Add a Cheesy Finish: For a touch of indulgence, sprinkle some crumbled feta or vegan parmesan over the top just before serving.
