Bulgur Veggie Stir Fry Recipe
One of the things that I really like to make is bulgur. It’s tasty, easy to prepare and ready in 15 minutes, and a bonus is that it’s healthy. Who am I to miss an opportunity to feed my kids some healthy food?
Bulgur is even better when you add vegetables! Here I added some veggies for added color and crunch, and to make it more interesting.
The result was a fantastic bulgur and veggie dish that tasted great and was fun to eat.
