Tangy Red Bulgar

Source of Recipe

From: Steven J Boege


List of Ingredients


1 tblsp olive or vegetable oil
1 cup chopped red or green bell pepper, or combination
1 cup chopped zucchini or yellow squash, or both
2 1/4 cup Bloody Mary mix or vegetable juice
1 cup bulgur wheat
1 tblsp lemon juice
1 tsp dired basil, crushed, or 1 tablespoon fresh, minced
1/3 cup chopped green onions



Recipe

Crockpot:
I have made this in a crockpot, tossing all the ingredients except the basil and green onions in and cooking on low for 8 hours, adding the basil after 7.5 hours, and garnishing with green onions just before serving. The resulting dish is indistinguishable from one made using the stove top method. I refuse to try the microwave method. I generally use only two cups of Bloody Mary mix since the brand I buy comes in


Regular Method:
Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Cook pepper(s) and squash(es) until tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in Bloody Mary mix or vegetable juice, bulgur, lemon juice, and basil. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 5 to 8 minutes or until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
Garnish with green onions. May be served warm or as a salad at room temperature.
