This anti-inflammatory vegan golden bulgur stew is easy to make and rich in vitamins, minerals - and flavor, of course!
Fall is the season for soups and stews. So here we go again. This golden bulgur stew seems like a pretty basic recipe - but it's a pretty amazing basic recipe. It's perfect for those busy weeknights when you just crave something hearty, healthy and warming.
Although I prefer creamy soups like my thai mango-peanut soup or my cauliflower-chestnut soup, I love chunky, thick stews.
What's great about this vegan bulgur stew is that it's quite a versatile recipe. Go with whatever veggies you like. If you're not a fan of (golden) beets, opt for turnips. No carrots at home? No problem, try parsnips or even sweet potato.
What you shouldn't leave out of this golden bulgur stew is the turmeric. Without the turmeric the recipe wouldn't really deserve the title "golden". And apart from that a bit of turmeric doesn't hurt - quite the opposite, actually. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties and lots of other health benefits.
This stew recipe makes 2-3 servings so if you plan on making this for more people make sure to double or triple the recipe.

Is there a good gluten-free grain to sub for bulgur?

I think buckwheat would work great in this recipe or maybe quinoa!
