Ingredients:

2 cups (475 ml) broth or water ¾ cup (105 g) bulgur wheat 
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste 
2 tablespoons (15 g) dried cherries 
2 dried apple rings, coarsely chopped 
2 dried apricots, chopped Yield: 

4 servings 

How to prepare:

1. Place the broth or water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. 
2. Add the bulgur wheat and stir well with a fork to remove any lumps. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. 
3. Add salt, cherries, apples, and apricots to the pan, and gently fold in with a fork. Cover the pan, and allow mixture to rest for about 10 minutes before serving, allowing the cereal to absorb the flavors of the fruit. 

Notes:

• Substitute dried cranberries or blueberries for the cherries, if desired. 
• For added taste, sprinkle each serving with cinnamon sugar and add a splash of warm milk. 
• Bulgur is often sold in three varieties, or grinds—coarse, medium, and fine. Coarse is preferred in pilaf and stuffing recipes, while fine works best in the popular Middle Eastern salad known as tabbouleh. For this recipe, medium or coarse bulgur works best.
•All bulgur triples in volume once cooked, so be sure your saucepan is large enough to hold everything.

INGREDIENT SPOTLIGHT DRIED FRUITS:

Dried fruits are rich in the dietary minerals calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, copper, and manganese, and in vitamins A and B.
They are also a terrific source of iron, which plays a vital role in the formation of the collagen scaffolding that keeps your skin tight, strong, and smooth. Apricots and figs have the most iron per ounce of all dried fruits, each providing roughly 7 percent of the daily recommended iron intake per serving. (One serving of dried apricots is eight; one serving of dried figs is four.)
