Course Side Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbs olive oil
  • 12 oz fresh mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 1 sweet onion, chopped
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 3 or 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 cup dry bulgar wheat
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 can stewed tomatoes and juice (16 oz)
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, place 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once oil is hot, add sliced mushrooms and saute until mushrooms are browned and moisture has cooked off, about 6-10 minutes.
  • Add onions and continue cooking until translucent. Add celery and cook until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. When vegetables are soft, add garlic and bulgar wheat. Brown for 1 minute, stirring continually so it doesn't stick.
  • When garlic and bulgar are lightly browned, add chicken broth and stewed tomatoes, and stir to blend. Bring to a boil, then add black beans. Stir to blend, then cover and place in preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, check on bulgar and gently stir to see if liquid is absorbed. If still wet, cook uncovered for another 2-5 minutes. To serve, garnish with chopped parsley. Makes 6 to 8 servings. Enjoy!
