Bulgur Stuffing With Celery, Apples and Sage image

A nice alternative to a traditional bread-based stuffing. This stuffing requires no baking and can be on your table in 30 minutes. The original recipe comes from a 1991 issue of Eating Well magazine and has been modified to suit my own personal preferences. For example, I prefer a full teaspoon of sage. You should feel free to do the same by adding or subtracting spices to suit you. (WW Core)

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup medium grain Bulgar wheat
1 small onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 tart apple, chopped (I use Granny Smiths)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2-1 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1 3/4 cups vegetable broth or 1 3/4 cups water
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 -2 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium sized sauce pan, adding the bulgur, onions, celery, and apples.
  • Cook 2 -3 minutes stirring so that the produce begins to soften and the bulgur begins to toast.
  • Add the herbs (sage, thyme, and marjoram) along with the minced garlic and continue to cook 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  • Stir in the stock or water along with the bay leaf and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to lowest possible flame, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, until all of the liquid is absorbed.
  • The bulgur will be tender but chewy.
  • Take the bay leaf out.
  • Mix in the chopped fresh parsley and season to taste.
