  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 - 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked bulgur
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon smoked salt
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 – 4 cloves of garlic, peeled & chopped
  • 2 – 3 green onions, chopped
  • About 5 cups of kale, ribs removed and chopped
  • 5 teaspoons sunflower dill pesto (recipe here … or substitute basil pesto)
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 2 – 3 slices bacon, cooked and chopped


Instructions

  1. In a small/medium mixing bowl, stir together the bulgur, water and smoked salt. Cover with a plate and microwave on high for several minutes, checking every couple minutes, until the water is all absorbed and the bulgur is puffed and chewy.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large frying or saute pan. Add the garlic and onions and saute until the onions are soft and translucent. Stir in the kale, pesto, and corn and cook just until the kale is wilted and the corn is thawed.
  3. Stir in the cooked bulgur and top with sunflower seeds and crumbled bacon. Enjoy!
