• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden and tender, about 8 minutes.

BULGUR AND BOW TIES WITH MUSHROOMS AND BEEF

Steps:

• Bring water to boil for noodles in covered pot.
• Chop whole onion; saute in very hot oil in nonstick pan until the onions begin to brown.
• Mince garlic and add to onion.
• Combine bulgur with 1 cup water and cook over high heat until water boils; cover and cook at a high simmer until water has been absorbed and bulgur is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Grind beef and stir into onion, breaking up beef and cooking until it browns.
• Meanwhile, wash, trim, dry and slice mushrooms; add to onions.
• Cook bow-tie noodles according to package directions.
• Add tomato paste, chicken stock and wine to beef mixture. Cook over very low heat while preparing the rest of the meal. Drain noodles, and if there is any liquid left in bulgur, drain. Stir bulgur and bow-ties into beef. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.

BULGUR BOWL WITH SPINACH, MUSHROOMS AND DUKKAH

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the bulgur and salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat, uncover and place a clean dish towel over the pan, then replace the lid. Allow to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes or longer. Alternatively, reconstitute the bulgur just by placing it in a bowl, mixing with salt to taste, and pouring on 1 1/2 cups boiling water or stock. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes, until the bulgur is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Transfer to a strainer and press out excess water. Set aside.
• To make the dukkah, chop the nuts very fine. Mix with the toasted sesame seeds in a bowl. In a dry skillet lightly toast the coriander seeds just until fragrant and immediately transfer to a spice mill and allow to cool completely. In the same skillet toast the cumin seeds just until fragrant and transfer to the spice mill. Allow to cool. When the spices have cooled, grind and add to the nuts and sesame seeds. Add the nigella seeds, sumac and salt and mix together.
• In a large, heavy skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat and add the red onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is very tender and lightly colored, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Add the mushrooms to the skillet and turn up the heat to medium high. Cook, stirring or tossing in the pan, until the mushrooms begin to sweat, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and continue to cook, stirring, until just tender and moist, another couple of minutes. Add the remaining olive oil and the garlic, stir together for about 30 seconds, until fragrant, and stir in the wine. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until the liquid in the pan has evaporated, and add the spinach and salt to taste. Cook, tossing the spinach in the pan with tongs, until the spinach has wilted, which shouldn't take much longer than a couple of minutes. Add the dill and stir everything together.
• Combine the bulgur and chickpeas and heat through, either on top of the stove or in the microwave. Spoon into wide bowls and top with the mushrooms and spinach. Arrange the red onions on top and if desired add a drizzle of olive oil. Sprinkle each serving with about 2 to 3 teaspoons dukkah and serve.

BULGUR WITH CRIMINI MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. When hot, put in the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion turns translucent (a couple minutes).
• Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes. If the mushrooms give off liquid, cook and stir until the liquid evaporates.
• Add the stock, bulgur, rosemary, thyme, and a good amount of black pepper. Bring to a boil.
• Cover, lower the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the liquid is all absorbed and the bulgur is cooked, about 15 minutes.
• If your stock is not salted, you may want to give it a sprinkling of salt before serving. You may also want to garnish it with additional fresh herbs or a grating of Parmesan. Enjoy!

BULGUR WITH OLIVES AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Rinse bulgur wheat in water and drain.
• Pour oil into a heavy-bottomed saucepan or casserole and place over high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they begin to brown.

• Stir in oregano, garlic, olives and bulgur. Pour in stock or water, cover, reduce heat and cook for about 20 minutes, until water is absorbed and the bulgur is tender.
• Check for seasoning. The olives should make additional salt unnecessary. Stir in parsley and basil and serve.
