Ingredients

  • ½ cup bulgur aka burgul/pligouri
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water boiling-hot
  • 2 cups parsley finely chopped, fresh
  • ½ cup mint finely chopped, fresh
  • 2 spring onion or 1 dry onion

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper any color, ground
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add bulgur and salt in boiling water & let stand for 15 minutes (do not boil). Drain excess water.
  2. Chop the tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley, mint, onion and mix well in a large bowl.
  3. Add the bulgur and mix well. Add the dry mint, salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon and mix well. Sophie recommends to mix with your hands, and I agree, as it is a common way of really making sure all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together.
  4. Cover the bowl and let it sit for at least 2-3 hours, although overnight is better.
  5. Serve as a side dish or as main course.
