RECIPE BY: LUv 2 BaKE

This is a very thick chili. The bulgur almost takes on the colour, form/texture of ground meat. Excellent with fresh bread and a garden salad or as a meal itself. Freezes/reheats well. From Meal Lean i Yumm!

    This was really a thick, hearty chili. I had the feeling it would need salt, but didn't add any while cooking. Each of us added our own while eating. It's that first bite that is so important and it lacked something that salt helped. I loved the bulgur and all the veggies, but would sub out the chickpeas next time for black beans. Very healthy and filling. Thanks LUv 2 BaKE! Made and reviewed for 2008 All New Zaar Cookbook Tag.

    I love spicy veggie dishes and this had just the right amount of heat for me, but... I feel like there was a dimension of taste missing from the dish, although I can't really put my finger on what it was! Maybe plain old salt? Mind you, I had this as-is and I think the missing dimension might very well be filled with a nice piece of bread!! I might also use less diced tomatoes and more salsa the next time. Apart from these minor gripes, a lovely dish that makes a lot, and is easy to prepare! I used couscous and 1 tbls of canola oil instead of the olive oil. A great weekday dish that will certainly get made again with a bit of tweaking - thanks for sharing!
