1 Cup dry bulgar wheat
1 1/2 Cups boiling water
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup fresh lemon or lime juice
1 heaping tsp crushed fresh garlic
1/2 cup chopped scallions (include greens)
1/2 tsp of dried mint or chopped fresh mint leaves to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
2 medium tomatoes, diced (Steve has gotten by with less)
1 cup freshly chopped parsley
Fresh black pepper
Begin soaking the bulgar at least 3 hrs before serving time. It needs
to be thoroughly marinated and chilled.(in other words: don't try to
whip this up at the last minute).
Combine bulgar wheat , boiling water and salt in a bowl. Cover and let stand 15 to 20 minutes or until bulgar is chewable. Add lemon juice, garlic, oil and mint and mix thoroughly. Refrigerate 2 - 3 hours. Just before serving add the vegetables and mix gently. Correct the seasonings.
