Schwartz
3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 to 8 green onions, finely sliced or 1 medium onion minced
1 cup bulgur, uncooked

Warm broth or water in a small saucepan to simmer. Keep warm over
low heat. Heat oil over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add
green onions (or onions) and cook until soft, about 1 minute, stirring
constantly. Add bulgur and cook until fluffy, about 2 minutes, stirring
constantly. Add the warm broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently

minutes total. Remove from heat. Lightly fluff bulgur grains. Add
greens, mint, lemon rind, and lemon juice. Stir until the greens wilt,
about 2 minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve. Serving suggestion:
Add 2 cups cooked garbanzo beans to serve as a vegetarian entrée.
