From: mworkman@vm.cc.purdue.edu (Maggie Workman) Source: The Best of Electric Crockery Cooking APRICOT NUT BREAD ================= (makes 4 to 6 servings) Ingredients: ------------ 3/4 cup dried apricots 1 cup flour 2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup sugar 3/4 cup milk 1 egg, slightly beaten 1 Tbsp grated orange peel 1 Tbsp vegetable oil 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts Instructions: ------------- Place the apricots on a chopping block. Sprinkle 1 T flour over them. Dip a knife into the flour and chop the apricots finely. Flour the knife often to keep the cut up fruit from sticking together. Sift the remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar into a large bowl. Combine the milk, egg, orange peel, and oil. Stir the flour mixture and the whole wheat flour. Fold in the cut up apricots, any flour left on the cutting block and the walnuts. Pour into a well greased, floured bakin unit. Cover and place on a rack in the slow cooker, but prop the lid open a fraction with a toothpick or a twist of foil to let excess steam escape. Cook on High for 4 to 6 hours. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm or cold. Now before you all ask what a baking unit is (I wondered as I sat and typed this in), I looked it up in the front of the bread section. She says that some manufacturers are making units for slow cookers, but if you don't have one, a 2 pound coffee can works. Pyrex muffin cups also work. Also 1, 1 1/2 and 2 quart molds work. Do not lift the lid while baking this bread. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%*

I let this simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. If it gets too dry add more sauce or water. Serve on rolls. This is great to take for lunch and heat in the microwave at work.

From: sjbg@troi.cc.rochester.edu (Steven J Boege) Source: Gourmet Grains, Beans, & Rice by Dotty Griffith, Page 83 TANGY RED BULGAR ================ Ingredients: ------------ 1 tblsp olive or vegetable oil 1 cup chopped red or green bell pepper, or combination 1 cup chopped zucchini or yellow squash, or both 2 1/4 cup Bloody Mary mix or vegetable juice 1 cup bulgur wheat 1 tblsp lemon juice 1 tsp dired basil, crushed, or 1 tablespoon fresh, minced 1/3 cup chopped green onions Instructions: ------------- Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Cook pepper(s) and squash(es) until tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in Bloody Mary mix or vegetable juice, bulgur, lemon juice, and basil. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 5 to 8 minutes or until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Garnish with green onions. May be served warm or as a salad at room temperature. To Microwave: ------------- In a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole dish, combine oil, red pepper and zucchini. Cover with lid; microwave on high 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring twice during cooking. Add vegetable juice, bulgur, lemon juice, and basil. Cover and microwave 10 minutes or until liquid is absorbed, stirring twice during cooking. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions. Crockpot: --------- I have made this in a crockpot, tossing all the ingredients except the basil and green onions in and cooking on low for 8 hours, adding the basil after 7.5 hours, and garnishing with green onions just before serving. The resulting dish is indistinguishable from one made using the stove top method. I refuse to try the microwave method. I generally use only two cups of Bloody Mary mix since the brand I buy comes in quart bottles. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
