Re: chicken broth As a vegetarian, I substitute vegetable broth. My first recipe posted was veggie, so is this one:
Vegetarian bulgur and tofu entree (high in protein and fibre)
Bulgur Wheat, Tofu and Sweet Peppers
125 ml ( 1/2 cup) coarse or medium bulgur
10 ml (2 tsp) olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 ml (1 tsp) each ground cumin and coriander
1 sweet red pepper, cut in strips
175 g (6 oz) firm-style tofu, cut in cubes to equal 250 ml (1 cup)
80 ml (1/3 cup) water
30 ml (2 tbsp) wine or cider vinegar
0.5 ml ( 1/8 tsp) hot pepper sauce
Half 284 g (10 oz) pkg fresh spinach, washed, stemmed and cut in strips (1 1/4 cups)
2 ml ( 1/2 tsp) salt
Pepper
Place bulgur in bowl and add enough boiling water to cover by 5 cm (2 inches); soak for 20 minutes. Drain thoroughly in sieve.
In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic; cook for a few seconds. Stir in cumin and coriander; stir in red pepper. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Stir in tofu, then add bulgur, water, vinegar and hot pepper sauce; cook, uncovered for 2 minutes or until bulgur is nearly tender, stirring often. Add spinach; cook, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly wilted. Add salt, and pepper to taste.
Makes 3 servings.
