Bulgur with Roasted Red Pepper, Chickpeas and Spinach

Recipe from Martha Stewart.


Ingredients

  • 1-2 cups bulgur
  • 2-3 red bell peppers, halved and seeded
  • 1/2 cup (roughly)  extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cans chickpeas, rinsed and patted dry OR about half a bag of dried, cooked chickpeas
  • 2-4 cups baby spinach

Directions

  1. Cook bulgur according to package directions.
  2. While bulgur is cooking, roast peppers under the broiler until blackened, 8 to 16 minutes. Chop peppers into 3/4-inch pieces. Reserve any juices.
  3. Heat 1/3 cup oil over medium-high. Fry chickpeas until golden brown and lightly crisp, about 3-7 minutes. Sprinkle coarse salt (more if not canned beans) and pepper.
  4. Add peppers and reserved juices, spinach, and 2 tablespoons oil to pan and allow spinach to slightly wilt.  Mix in bulgur and toss.
