Bulgur with Ginger and Orange

Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 2 oranges
  • 2 tsp. canola oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp. minced fresh ginger
  • 1 cup #3 coarse bulgur
  • 2 tsp. brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. salt or to taste
  • 1/3 cup slivered almonds
  • 2/3 cup chopped scallions
  • 1 tbsp. reduced sodium soy sauce

Instructions

  • Zest 1 orange; reserve the zest. Juice both oranges. If necessary, add enough water to the juice to measure 1-1/2 cups total.
  • Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Add garlic and ginger; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add bulgur and stir to coat. Add the orange juice, brown sugar and salt; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover and cook until the bulgur is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 15 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toast almonds in a small dry skillet over medium low heat, stirring frequently, until light golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add scallions, soy sauce and the reserved orange zest to the bulgur; mix gently and fluff with a fork. Serve sprinkled with the almonds.
