EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

You have a little of everything in this dish: grains, vegetables and cheese. Use warmed pita bread wedges to scoop up every bit. A green salad with a drizzle of olive oil and a spritz of lemon juice is a nice addition.

This is a great recipe for anyone wanting to incorporate more meatless meals into their diet! It is super simple to prepare. This was my first time using bulgur wheat and lentils. This dish is a great source of protein and fiber and the topping of Feta cheese really makes the dish. One word of advice, I found the need to add more Cumin and a touch more salt. Be sure to taste it before adding more of either ingredient. Bon Appetit!
