Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil

1 cup chopped red or green

bell pepper -- or combination

1 cup chopped zucchini or

yellow squash -- or both

2 1/4 cups Bloody Mary mix

or vegetable juice

1 cup bulgur wheat

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried basil -- crushed or

1 tablespoon fresh -- minced

1/3 cup chopped green onions

 

Instructions: ------------- Heat oil in large saucepan over medium

heat.

Cook pepper(s) and squash(es) until tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes,

stirring

occasionally. Stir in Bloody Mary mix or vegetable juice, bulgur,

lemon

juice, and basil. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low. Cover and

simmer

5 to 8 minutes or until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.

Garnish

with green onions. May be served warm or as a salad at room

temperature.

To Microwave: ----------a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole

dish,

combine oil, red pepper and zucchini. Cover with lid; microwave on

high

4 minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring twice

during

cooking. Add vegetable juice, bulgur, lemon juice, and basil.

Cover and

microwave 10 minutes or until liquid is absorbed, stirring twice

during

cooking. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Garnish with green

onions.

Crockpot: --------- I have made this in a crockpot, tossing all the

ingredients except the basil and green onions in and cooking on low

for 8

hours, adding the basil after 7.5 hours, and garnishing with green

onions

just before serving. The resulting dish is indistinguishable from

one

made using the stove top method. I refuse to try the microwave

method.

I generally use only two cups of Bloody Mary mix since the brand I

buy

comes in quart bottles. Maggie MWORKMAN
