Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 cup bulgur
- 2 cups water

In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add bulgur, cover, and let it simmer for 10 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the bulgur is cooked. Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, and sauté until translucent.
