Green Beans: Mom’s food!
When I was a kid, I remember my mom making some kind of lathera food every week, since we all loved these dishes. One of them was the green beans. The combination of vegetables with tomato juice and the virgin olive oil made this food irresistible to me. The slices of bread that I “dipped” in the sauce also contributed to the cause. Green beans is a classic, traditional food that will always be on the daily, family menus and will bring to all of us many memories of our younger days.
Everything you need to know about bulgur:
Bulgur is a whole grain cereal and it has its roots in ancient times. It is especially important for our health, as it is rich in protein, fiber and vitamins. Bulgur is also, a very useful raw material, as we can make wonderful breakfast bowls, burgers, salads and much more. In general, it is an ingredient that can be easily incorporated into a recipe. In this particular recipe I decided to combine it with the green beans and make a complete nutritious and delicious meal that will make me remind and miss my childhood moments.
