Congratulations!
Now for the wonderful recipe I want to share with you today. This is one that my sister shared with me and it is so yummy and healthy! I love the nuttiness of the bulgur and the sweetness of the pears. It is such wonderful flavor combinations. Topped off with vanilla yogurt makes this a perfect little breakfast!
I made this dish stovetop but my sister made it in the crockpot which got rave reviews. If, unlike me, you can plan ahead a little and get this dish ready the night before, I’m sure it is even more delicious in the crockpot.
I do hope you enjoy my friends!
BREAKFAST BULGUR WITH PEARS (4 servings)
1 large pear, diced
1 cup fruit nectar (I used apple juice)
1 cup water
1 cup uncooked bulgur
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch of salt
4 oz (or 1/2 cup) lowfat vanilla yogurt
Place all ingredients (minus pear and yogurt) in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the diced pears. Mix and cover pan. Reduce heat to a very low flame and simmer until liquid is absorbed and bulgur is tender. About 12-15 minutes. Serve in a bowl and top with yogurt.
The bulgar looks so delicious – I’m sure the yogurt is the perfect topping. Congratulations on your award!
Thank you!
This looks delicious and a nice change from my bowl of oatmeal!
Yes it is a nice change. A little nuttier than oatmeal. Thank you!
Congrats on the award my friend
And your breakfast treat looks wonderful!
Cheers
