    Makes 8 side-dish servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups coarse or medium bulgur*
1/2 cup chopped pitted dates
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 14-ounce cans low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted (about 2 ounces)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; stir 1 minute. Add bulgur and sauté 5 minutes. Stir in dates, apricots, cinnamon stick, and curry powder. Add broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until bulgur is tender and broth is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
