Lemon parsley Mediterranean bulgur
About:
A very easy rice with lemon and parsley. Here I used green chillies for spice but feel free to customise as per your taste. I used Mediterranean bulgur as a healthy variation to rice –alternatively any rice of choice can be used and follow the same procedure.
This dish is great for breakfast, lunch and even for packed lunch.
I served this with coriander-mint chives raita (link)
Health Benefits:
Parsley is rich in many vital vitamins, including Vitamin C, B 12, K and A. This means parsley keeps your immune system strong, tones your bones and heals the nervous system, too. It helps flush out excess fluid from the body, thus supporting kidney function. However, the herb contains oxalates, which can cause problems for those with existing kidney and gall bladder problems. Regular use of parsley can help control your blood pressure. The folic acid in this herb is like a tonic for your heart.
Serves: 3-4
Preparation time: 10 minutes
