That’s not a very catchy name for a recipe, is it? But, that’s what it is. A simple dish made up of sweet potato, kale and bulgar without a lot of fuss but oh so good in it’s simplicity.

Ingredients:
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1-2 cups kale, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp neutral flavor oil
- 1/2 cup bulgar
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp sea salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp ground white pepper
- juice of 1 lemon
- Toasted almonds, chopped (optional)
Preparation:
- In a large skillet heat the oil over medium high heat and add the sweet potatoes and garlic. Cook 3-4 minutes or until the potatoes have browned a little.
- Add the remaining ingredients except the lemon juice. Cover and reduce heat to low and cook until the bulgar and potatoes are tender and the kale is wilted, approximately 10 minutes. Add more water as needed if the pan gets too dry.
- When done squeeze the lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with the almonds (if using).

This sounds really tasty, especially in the fall. I love that you used apple cider to cook everything!
Thanks for that Janel. I think the apple cider is the key to making the whole dish really stand out.

I was a little afraid to try this. I am just experimenting with vegan stuff. I had never eaten kale or bulgar. They sounded very intimidating. But this was fantastic. I loved it. My husband loved it. I ate it for dinner last night and for lunch today. YUM !!! Will definitely make this again.
Debbie, That’s great that you gave this dish a try and I’m so glad you liked it. It’s funny how many different foods we avoid only to find out later how good they are. Keep up that wonderful open-minded attitude and enjoy.
