Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 1/4 cups water
3/4 cup green lentils (about 6 ounces)
2 Turkish bay leaves
2 1/4 cups medium bulgur (cracked wheat)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
3/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/3 cup caramelized onions reserved from chicken

Steps:

  • Bring first 3 ingredients to boil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Partially cover pan, reduce heat to low, and simmer until lentils are almost tender, about 15 minutes. Mix in bulgur, salt, and spices. Cover; simmer until water is absorbed, about 10 minutes longer. Season with pepper. Discard bay leaves. Serve topped with almonds and reserved onions.
