Bulgur And Lentil Pilaf

Servings: 4
Ingredients:

1 c  Lentils
4 c  Vegetable broth or water
1 ea Bay leaf
3 tb Margarine
1 lg Onion, chopped
Salt and pepper
1 c  Coarsely ground bulgur

Rinse the lentils and put in a pot with enough broth to cover. Add bay
leaf, bring to a boil and keep covered. Turn off heat and let stand for 30
minutes.

While the lentils are soaking, melt margarine in a heavy pot. Add chopped
onion, salt and pepper. Saute till onions are tender and transparent.

When onions are ready, keep heat at medium, stir in bulgur and continue
stirring till all the margarine is absorbed. Lower heat to a simmer and add
the rest of the broth and lentils in their broth. Bring to a boil, reduce
heat again, cover tightly and simmer till all the liquid has been absorbed.
Add more liquid till the bulgur and lentils are cooked. Remove bay leaf and
serve with a vegetable stew.
