serves 4-6
1\2 cup bulghur wheat
1\2 cup hot water
one 28 oz can tomatoes
oil for sautéing
3 cups chopped onions
3 clove garlic, minced or pressed
1 teaspoon ground cumin (I use one tablespoon, sometimes more)
1 teaspoon "chili powder" (not hot cayenne or other hot chili pepper
powder, see below)
1 tablespoon hot sauce, or 1\4 teaspoon cayenne powder (obviously,
how
much you use is a matter of personal taste. The amounts
shown here are
from the original recipe, and too bland for me. Of course,
you can use
fresh chilis.)
2 green bell peppers, chopped (I usually use one red and one green)
2 cups frozen corn, thawed
1 14 oz can black beans
1 14 oz can red beans
salt to taste
grated cheese and/or fresh cilantro for topping
Bring bulghur, hot water and the juice from the tomatoes to boil
in a small
sauce pan, lower heat and simmer.
Sauté onions, garlic, cumin, chili powder and hot sauce/hot
pepper powder
until onions are soft, then stir in bell peppers. Run the
tomatoes through
a food processor briefly, or just chop them in the can, and add
them. Stir
in the corn and beans, and simmer. When the bulghur is cooked,
but still
chewy, add it and any remaining liquid. Add salt, simmer a few minutes,
and
serve with cheese and/or cilantro.
