1 1/2 cups bulgur

1 tsp salt

In a large skillet saute the onions and garlic in the oil for about 8 minutes, until the onions are clear. Add the greens and lemon juice, cover, and cook until the greens have just wilted. Stir in the bulgur and salt. Add the water, cover, and cook on med-low heat for about 15 minutes, until the bulgur is tender and most of the water has been absorbed. Sprinkle with pepper and add more lemon juice to taste. Serve garnished with lemon wedges and mint and sprinkle with vinegar if desired.
