Bulgur Pesto Timbales

[Guest guest]

This one stirred my imagination. We don't have to use a basil pesto in this

recipe. Could serve this with mild mushroom sauce or a spicy chutney or sweet

potato puree. With stir fry of vegetables center it in a bowl of vegetable soup

(big crouton). could use other grains. ... just caught me...
