Viewed: 33 - Published at: 3 years agoIngredients
- 1 cup bulghur wheat (fine grade)
- 1 bunch(5-6) green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 1 table spoon fresh dill
- 1 table spoon fresh mint
- juice from half lemon
- 1 Anaheim pepper, seeded and chopped
- 3 tablespooons hot red pepper paste mixed with tomato paste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- boiling water
Method
- In a bowl, place bulgur wheat along with enough boiling water to cover. Cover the container and allow bulghur to swell for about 15 minutes. In the mean time you can prepare herbs. After 15 min check if all the water is sucked by bulghur. If it is not ready, wait 5 more minutes or more if it is necessary. When the bulghur is ready add hot red pepper/tomato paste till it is homogenously mixed (bulghur turns orange). Add olive oil till bulgur pieces looks sparkly (don't over saturate it!). Then add lemon juice, greens (parsley, green onion, mint, dill, pepper and basil as you wish), salt and pepper. You can add cucumbers and tomatoes as you wish (I personally don't add them because they release water. Bulghur tend to swell! Over swelling is not good). Serve the salad fresh on a romaine lettuce bed.
