Bulgur with Olive Oil and Lemon

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup bulgur

  • 1/2 cup boiling water

  • 1 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 Tbs fresh lemon juice

  • pinch of salt

  • finely minced fresh parsley (optional)

Bulgur is precooked cracked wheat that requires no further cooking beyond a good soak in boiling water. Use a very small amount of water, so the result will be fluffy and lightly chewy-and never mushy. Also, with less water, the natural nutty flavor of the grain comes through more strongly.

Directions

  • Place the bulgur in a medium-small bowl.
  • Pour in the water and cover the bowl with a plate. Let stand 30 minutes
  • Stir in the olive oil and lemon juice, and add a little salt to taste.
  • Stir in the parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
