This veggie-rich dish is just as perfect as a holiday side as it is for a quick, nutritious lunch. Bulgur is an underutilized grain with a light nutty taste and a pleasantly chewy texture, and is a great switch-up from rice, quinoa and couscous. Use it as a base for this savory sweet potato pilaf and introduce the goodness to your family.
