Instructions
The hard crunch of nuts, the chewy toothsomeness of chickpeas, peach and cranberries, against a backdrop of whole grains, touched off with cinnamon and onion seems incongruous and yet somehow perfectly ties it all together. It makes a great dinner or snack on its own, or combined with a sandwich. It makes a nice side dish for a grilled juicy chicken thighs. Combine ingredients (except bulgur) in a glass bowl and set aside. Combine boiling water, salt and bulgur in large bowl, cover and let stand 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Mix bulgur with other ingredients and ready to serve. Optionally you can add shredded parsley or mint.
