Spinach Burghul - achookwoman's adaptation of Stephanie's recipe

[Thermomixer]

Spinach Burghul,   adapted from Stephanies' new book.....Kitchen Garden Companion.
 Good as an accompaniment,  serves 4 - 6

1 cup course burghul
1 cup chicken stock
2 cloves of garlic
100g spinach leaves,  S and P to taste.

Place garlic and chicken stock in T.M bowl, cook on Varoma , speed 2, 5 mins.
Add roughly chopped spinach and cook for 30 seconds on speed 4.
zap on speed 7 for 1 min.
Add burghul and mix 1 min.
Leave in bowl , covered for 15 to 20 mins.

I made this with mixed greens from the vegie garden.   It was a bit strong in flavor,  so next time would add 1/2 lettuce.    I also added a squeeze of lemon.

It wouldn't be too strong if you just used spinach though would it Chookie?

[achookwoman]

No, J.D you are right, it would not be as strong with spinach.    Infact we had leftovers for lunch (cold), and it wasn't strong at all.   I think that when I want a salad to make the day before entertaining I will make this as one of the salads.    No oil and a good way to use the greens from the garden.

Chookie, this sounds healthy and delicious. Something different too.
