I started writing down the recipe while I was on the phone with her, I gave her the ingredient and the instructions on how to prepare the dish. Bulgur (the fine grade) is famously used in Taboli dishes but it is delish when its made as pilaf. a refreshing change from regular rice or brown rice but It will require a lot of flavor added to it, spices and flavored stock, it is very bland on its on. The chicken dish turned out delish also, my own created mix of spices worked beautifully in both the Chicken and the Bulgur dishes, I will try the chicken dish again with one less vegetable and see the difference. over all both dishes were successful tonight.Chicken and cabbage
I had a recipe in mind that I wanted to create and try for dinner tonight, I called a friend and said would you like to be my tester? she said yes, I would love too (she loves my food) 🙂
she did not have any coarse Bulgur on hand so she made brown rice instead. Coarse Bulgur is what I wanted to go with this chicken dish.
Made roasted salmon with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. It was amazing!
Paired with, roasted cauliflower, and broccoli.
In addition, I prepared a healthy collard green, with olive oil, minced garlic, 2 tbsp. butter, and vegetable stock and lots of nutmeg.
At the end of the day, it was successful and the whole family fed and happy.
