Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the onion for 3 minutes, or until soft, stirring frequently.
Step 2
Stir in the broth, kale, bulgur, garlic, pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil, still over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 12 minutes, or until the bulgur is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Stir in the tomato. Cook for 1 minute, or until heated through. Remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice.
Cook’s Tip
Step 4
Instead of the kale, you can use spinach in this recipe. Add the spinach with the tomato, stirring just until the spinach wilts.
