Asparagus Bulgur Pilaf
You may have overlooked this Bulgur Pilaf in Trader Joe’s frozen section. But it’s definitely worth picking up!
If you’re not familiar with bulgur: it’s a delicious whole grain with a nutty flavor that’s made from cracked wheat berries. It has more fiber than brown rice and is high in protein and folate.
TJ’s Bulgar Pilaf is a delicious mix of textures & flavors, with fluffy bulgur, soft butternut squash, and creamy feta cheese.
We always think "outside the bag" in order to turn frozen foods into healthy, balanced meals. For this recipe, we’ve added additional veggies & plant protein for a satisfying stand-alone meal.
