Here is a super simple one-pan dish that\u2019s perfect for delivering dinner on a busy weeknight. All that goes into this casserole dish is broth, bulgur, lemon, thyme and some cherry tomatoes, which is topped with seared chicken breasts and baked in the oven. The bulgur cooks in the broth, the chicken finishes cooking, and the resulting dish is, well…simply delicious. The perfect cozy-winter-dinner.<\/p>\n
I love bulgur for its flavor and versatility — for the nutty-tasting cracked wheat product it is\u2026even if it has taken second fiddle to quinoa and all the gluten-free grains and pseudo grains out there. These days so many people are shunning wheat.<\/p>\n
The most obvious question would be: Why? How could gluten, which is found in a staple foodstuff for many nations (most definitely Germany), suddenly have become so threatening for so many?<\/p>\n
In North America, the fear of gluten has become so evident that, the television show \u201cSouth Park\u201d devoted an entire episode to the topic, to explore, and very likely mock, our gluten-free obsession. In this episode, South Park became the first entirely gluten-free town in America, with federal agents placing anyone suspected of having been \u201ccontaminated\u201d in quarantine, citizens were forced to strip their cupboards of \u201ccontaminated\u201d foods, and angry mobs took flamethrowers to wheat fields.
