ingredients

1/2 cup bulgur
1/2 cup hot water
3 cups canned tomatoes- undrained
3 tablespoons water
3 cups chopped onions
3 cloves garlic- minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon tabasco sauce
2 green bell peppers- chopped
2 cups fresh or frozen corn
1 1/2 cups black beans, cooked- drained
1 1/2 cups red kidney beans, cooked- drained
Salt to taste

directions

1
Place the bulgur, hot water and about a cup of the juice from the canned tomatoes in a small saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil on high heat, then lower the heat and simmer gently.
2
While the bulgur cooks, heat the 3 tbsp. water in a large saucepan. Saute the onions, garlic, cumin and chili powder, and Tabasco. When the onions are soft, stir in the bell peppers and saute for 2 to 3 minutes more. Chop the tomatoes right in the can and add them to the pan. Stir in the corn and the beans, and heat thoroughly on low heat. Taste the bulgur. When it is cooked but still chewy, add it to the pan with its liquid. Cover and simmer for a few minutes for the flavors to meld. Add salt to taste.
