Bulgur with Cabbage and Green Beans

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Boil 2 cups water. Pour the water over the bulgur in a heatproof container. Cover and let stand until the water is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Or combine the water and bulgur in a small saucepan and simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

   Step 2

   Heat the oil in a large skillet or stir-fry pan. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until translucent. Layer the cabbage and green beans over the onions, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Then uncover, turn the heat up to medium-high, and sauté, stirring frequently until all the vegetables are lightly and evenly browned.

   Step 3

   Transfer the cooked bulgur to the skillet and stir it in. Sauté for another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
