A decade ago, pomegranate was the hippest fruit in the bowl. It may have lost a little of the "cool" it once had, but these sweet and tart seeds make an excellent addition to this grain bowl. And let's not forget the blood orange, which has great citrus flavor and a great name. (And it looks really cool when you open it; you'll see!) Tossed with bulgur wheat, sweet potato, and a shallot dressing, this bowl makes it hip to be square.

Bring a small pot with bulgur wheat, 1 cup water, and 1/4 tsp. salt to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until all water has been absorbed, 10-14 minutes. Remove from burner, cover, and keep warm. While bulgur wheat cooks, prepare ingredients.
