Ingredients

1/2 cup raw bulgur
2 tablespoons light olive oil
3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
One 28-ounce can low-sodium stewed tomatoes, with liquid
Two 16-ounce cans black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Boil 1 cup water. Pour the water over the bulgur in a heatproof container. Cover and let stand until the water is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Or combine the water and bulgur in a small saucepan and simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

    Heat the oil in a stir-fry pan or wide skillet. Add the garlic and sauté over low heat until golden, about 2 minutes.

    Step 3

    Break up the tomatoes with your hands and add to the pan, followed by the black-eyed peas. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, and stir in the cooked bulgur.
