Subject: bulgar wheat pilaf recipe                                          

I had a friend to dinner last night and served the Chilean Black-Eyed 
Peas and Winter Squash from Lindsay Wagner's _The higher Road to 
Health_.  As a side dish I made bulgar wheat pilaf <recipe to follow> to 
which my friend commented, "Please excuse me if I don't eat that, isn't 
bulgar wheat in tabouli?..I hate tabouli."  She had seconds of my pilaf.

BULGAR WHEAT PILAF

bring 3 cups water or vegetabe broth to boil <I used water and added 
veggie chicken broth mix for flavor and saltiness>
add one head celery, chopped
one large onion, sliced thin
simmer 5 minutes
add 2 cups bulgar wheat
simmer on low about 25 minutes
turn off heat and let stand 5 or more minutes


I have also made this a one pot meal, adding more vegetables such as 
sliced mushrooms, green beans or peas, you get the idea.  Toss in some 
herbs, too, can't hurt.
