Bulgur Pilaf with
Tomato, Onion and Raisins

Bulgur is a cooked, dried, and cracked wheat kernel popular
in Middle Eastern cuisine. Here it provides a nutty
tasting foundation for a low-fat recipe. The green onion,
tomato, and raisins give this recipe a unique blend of flavors.

Ingredients:
1 14-1/2-ounce can tomatoes, cut up
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 teaspoon instant chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1 cup bulgur
1/4 cup raisins

Directions:
Drain tomatoes, reserving juice. Add enough water
to juice to equal 2 cups. Set tomatoes aside.
In a medium saucepan combine tomato juice-water mixture,
green onions, bouillon granules, and thyme.
Bring mixture to boiling; add bulgur.
Cover and simmer for 12 minutes.
Stir in tomatoes and raisins.
Cover and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes more
or until bulgur is tender and all the liquid is absorbed.
