Bulgar wheat, cheddar cheese and walnuts or pecans baked into a loaf with thyme and marjoram.
Vegetarian recipes can still be so bland and tasteless. Why is it, in this day and age that hospitals and nutritionists will tell you to eat less meat, but can’t provide you with decent delicious recipes? It’s part of the way we can save our planet, by eating less meat. And this recipe is a delicious one.
My husband James was a vegetarian back in the 60's when you had to create your own vegetarian recipes. You couldn't just get on the internet to find a good recipe! He experimented to find the perfect vegetarian wheat loaf. We have been making this recipe ever since. Myra liked pecans. James always uses walnuts. You can decide which you like best.
