  • 1 tbsp dry Coriander , finely ground
  • 1 tsp Sweet Paprika , not smoked
  • 1 tbsp Onion Powder , (optional)
  • 1000 ml Vegetable Broth , Bouillon diluted in water
  • 1 Cup Fresh Mint , leaves picked and chopped, coriander would also do nicely
  • 6 Scallions , white and green parts, finely sliced

Instructions

  • Start by mixing the dry coriander, paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper in the warm broth and keep aside.
  • In a medium-large non-stick pot add the oil on medium heat and allow to heat-up for 1’. Add the bulgur and sauté for a minute or so and until the bulgur is well tossed with the oil. Then add the broth and turn up the heat.
  • Cover the pot with its lid, bring to a boil and turn off the heat. Allow to absorb all the broth for about 12’.
  • Finally uncover and place a kitchen towel in-between the pot and the lid to absorb any remaining humidity, for further 10’.
  • Fluff the bulgur with a fork. Once cooled, place the bulgur in a large bowl and mix with the mint, scallions and avocado and serve.
