Ingredients

  • 180 g bulgur
  • 100 g fresh broad beans without the pods
  • 2 shallots chopped
  • 3-4 cloves garlic sliced or minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 750 ml vegetable stock
  • 1-2 stem fresh mint 6-12 leaves
  • 1-2 stems fresh basil 6-12 leaves
  • 1-2 stems fresh oregano 6-12 leaves
  • 3 tbsp red pesto
  • salt and pepper to teste

Instructions

  • This is a pretty straight forward recipe, it doesn't require much work.
    In a large pan, fry the onions on medium heat until they are golden brown. Add the beans and simmer for a few minutes. Then add the bulgur and the stock along with all the herbs and spices. Cook until all the liquid evaporates and the bulgur and beans are both al dente. This should be about 10 minutes. Taste them and if you find them too hard, just add a little more water, cover with a lid and cook a few minutes more.
    Serve it immediately.
