Tips:
To make 2 cups of cooked bulgur, combine 3/4 cup dry bulgur, 1 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook over low heat until tender, about 12 minutes.
One 15 oz can of chickpeas makes about 1 3/4 cup rinsed and drained.
You can add any type of raw or cooked vegetables, but raw cauliflower and carrots work well.
Toast the almonds for more flavor. Heat in a nonstick skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until golden and fragrant.
