  • A little spice in the form of Jalapeno is a great way to jump-start the taste buds. Spicy and satisfying, this recipe will be a hit at backyard parties and cookouts.
  • Toast the bulgur wheat lightly in a nonstick skillet over medium heat (stirring constantly until golden brown). Pour bulgur wheat into hot chicken broth (very slowly), stir only once; cover and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and let liquid absorb until the bulgur wheat is al dente. Remove cover and let cool.
