Ingredients

2 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 3/4 cups finely chopped onions
1 cup bulgur
2 cups Vegetable-Herb Broth
1/2 cup couscous
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until tender and pale golden, about 10 minutes. Add bulgur and stir to coat. Stir in 1 1/2 cups Vegetable-Herb Broth. Bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer gently until liquid is absorbed and bulgur is tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

    Step 3

    Mix bulgur into couscous in large bowl. Add parsley, chives and rosemary; toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
