Green Bean Bulgur Pilaf (Low Carb)

1 Tbs olive oil
1 Tbs dried minced onion
1 cup medium bulgur
2 cups boiling water
8 oz green beans, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1 Tbs chopped fresh mint

1) In a saucepan, combine the water, dried onion and bulgur. Add the green beans, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
2) Remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover until the green beans are tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Stir in the almonds and mint.

Review: I doubled the amount of green beans and almonds, to make it tastier. Mike bought french style frozen green beans, instead of the cut beans, but it blended well. I left the pot on low heat, since the beans were frozen. It worked just fine and everything ended up evenly heated. I liked the coolness of the mint added to what would have been a fairly bland dish.
