Ingredients:

• olive oil
• 1 cup bulghur wheat, presoaked in room temperature -water for at least 30 minutes (be sure that the water covers the bulghur by at least one inch)
• ¼ lb Pioppino Mushrooms, or other variety of your choice, washed – chop these slightly
• 1 hot chili pepper, chopped
• 2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 Tbsp sultanas
• salt to taste

• 1 Tbsp vegan butter (optional)
• 1 Tbsp agave nectar
• ¼ tsp garlic granules
• a handful of flaked almonds
• 1 Tbsp freshly and finely chopped coriander
• a squeeze of fresh lime

Directions:

1. Presoak the bulghur wheat in a bowl for around half an hour, by which time this it will have absorbed the water. If not, pass it through a sieve and press any excess water out. Set aside in a bowl.
2. Fry the chilies and garlic in a large saucepan, then slowly add all the mushrooms and the vegan ‘butter’ – let the mushrooms do their magic and yield their juices.
3. Now add the remaining ingredients, except for the almonds and freshly chopped coriander.
4. Incorporate all the ingredients well, mixing almost all the time, then garnish with almonds and coriander. Serve immediately & Enjoy!
