Ingredients
- 1 cup whole grain bulgur
- 3 cups water
- 5 handfuls spinach
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- ⅓ cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1 tsp oregano
- 2 tsp basil
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp ground flax seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Place the water and bulgur in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 mins. When it is ready, remove from the heat and cover with a lid for about 10 mins until it soaks in its water completely.
- Meanwhile, put the spinach, onion, garlic, and pumpkin seeds in a food processor. Blend until finely chopped. Scrape the sides from time to time.
- In a large bowl combine the cooked bulgur and the spinach mixture. Season with the spices (oregano, basil, cumin, and salt). Fold in the ground flax seeds and stir everything until well combined.
- Transfer it to a 9" (22 cm) round baking pan and flatten the surface. Bake for about 15 mins.
- Serve with our Easy Creamy Garlic Sauce or the Quick Universal Cashew Sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- If needed, add a tablespoon of water in the food processor to go easily.
