Categories     dinner, lunch, main course, side dish

Time 1h35m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup dried chickpeas, soaked in 1 quart water for six hours or overnight and drained
Salt to taste
1 cup coarse bulgur wheat
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch scallions, finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, or a mixture of parsley and dill
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Drain the soaked chickpeas, and place in a pot with 1 quart water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer one hour. Add salt to taste and continue to simmer for 30 minutes to an hour, until the chickpeas are tender.
  • Place the bulgur in a 2-quart bowl. Place a strainer over the bowl, and drain the chickpeas so that the hot broth covers the bulgur. Set the chickpeas aside. Cover the bowl, and allow the bulgur to sit until fluffy, about 20 to 30 minutes. Strain and press out excess liquid.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet, and add the scallions. Cook, stirring, until tender, two or three minutes. Stir in the garlic, and continue to cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Stir in the bulgur and chickpeas. Add the herbs and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and toss together. Remove from the heat, add lemon juice and pepper, taste and adjust salt. Add more lemon juice if desired. Serve hot or room temperature.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 main course, or 6 side dishes

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 cups water
1 cup green lentils, picked over and washed
2 large onions, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup medium grind bulgur
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved

Meanwhile, fry the onions in the olive oil over medium heat until well browned, about 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the onions, bulgur, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to the pan with the lentils, bring to a full simmer, and then cook covered for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for an additional 15 minutes.

HERBED BULGUR WITH SAUSAGE



Herbed Bulgur With Sausage image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/2 cups bulgur wheat
A 1-pound can Italian peeled tomatoes
2 cups chicken stock or water (approximately)
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon minced fresh basil
1 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
Salt
1 pound Italian sweet sausage, or 1/2 pound sweet, 1/2 pound hot
1 cup sliced onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 tablespoon minced parsley
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a three-quart casserole, heat the oil. Add garlic and cook for a minute or so, until the garlic is soft but not brown. Add bulgur and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the bulgur is lightly toasted and coated with oil, about five minutes.
  • Drain the tomatoes, crushing them lightly and reserving the liquid. Set the tomatoes aside and add enough chicken stock or water to the liquid to make three cups. Add this liquid to the bulgur along with the oregano, basil, marjoram and fennel seeds. Season to taste with salt. Mix well.
  • Cover tightly and place over low heat for about 40 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and bulgur is tender.
  • While the bulgur is cooking, slice the sausages. If some of it crumbles, that is all right. Place the sausage in a heavy skillet and cook over medium heat until lightly brown. Remove sausage from pan.
  • Add onions and peppers to the pan and saute over medium heat until lightly browned. Return the sausage to the pan along with the tomatoes and cook just long enough to heat through.
  • When the bulgur is tender, lightly mix it to fluff it. Spread the sausage, onions and tomato mixture over the bulgur in the casserole, sprinkle with parsley, cover and place over medium heat for five to 10 minutes until heated through.
  • Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.
