1 1/4 cup bulgar wheat
1/2 cup apple juice
1/4 cup dried apples
10 dried apricots
1/4 cup raisins
1 8−ounce package seasoned bread stuffing
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or pecans
1/2 to 3/4 cups fat−free and low sodium chicken broth
Salt and pepper for seasoning
Bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil. Add the bulgar wheat, bring
back to a boil. Lower heat just enough so that the pot doesn't spill
over and cook for 15 minutes.
While the bulgar is cooking, pour the apple juice into a micro−safe
measuring cup. Chop the apples and apricots. Add the apples, apricots
and raisins to the apple juice stirring to combine. Microwave at full
power for 1 minute and set aside.
Drain the bulgar wheat and return to the pot. Stir in the bread
stuffing, apples, apricots, raisins and pine nuts. Stir in just enough
chicken broth to moisten the bread. Season to taste with salt and
pepper. Heat in the microwave for 3−4 minutes. The stuffing can be
made 2 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
