Ingredients

  • 2 strips bacon preferably nitrate free
  • 1 cup sweet onion chopped
  • ⅛ tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 cup wheat bulgur dry
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tomato diced medium sized

Instructions

  • Chop bacon strips into small bits (about the size of a nail head ... yeah, I have household projects on the brain again).
  • Drop bacon into non-stick skillet or wok, on med-high heat.
  • When bacon is just starting to brown, add onion, thyme and bulgur. Continue cooking, while stirring frequently, until onions and bulgur have started to brown.
  • Add chicken broth, bring to boil, then reduce heat to med-low, and cover.
  • Cook until broth is absorbed, then add diced tomato. Stir, and turn off burner.
  • Allow to set for a few minutes before serving, to ensure all liquid is absorbed.

Notes

While great as it is, chopped parsley or basil are nice to mix in the finished bulgur. Parmesan cheese makes a great topping too.
