Method

Rinse the bulgur in cold water and drain. Chop the onion and peppers; score, blanch, peel and dice the tomatoes.

Heat the butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in the onion, peppers and tomatoes, and cook for 2 minutes on medium heat, stirring constantly. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the bulgur and cook, covered, on low heat until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat.

Toast the walnuts in a dry nonstick skillet (fry­ing pan) until golden and stir into the bulgur. Stir in the parsley. Put a clean tea towel over the saucepan, cover, and leave the bulgur to swell for another 30 minutes.

TIP:- You can find bulgur-a type of cracked wheat-in health-food or Middle Eastern grocery stores. It can be served on its own, with roasted or barbecued chicken, or with fried meatballs and salad.
