This is a Sea twist on a classic Middle Asian bulgur wheat salad, with as well approachable
flavours
. It can be served as a slope dish or a main course, and much as part of a creative appetizer or meze spreading.
It’s also a great portable looker, perfect for bringing to a potluck or delivery outside for a Fourth of July get-in sync.
In this recipe, the bulgur "cooks" by immersing in liquid, absorbing fresh stinker juice along with the h2o. That really brightens up the coarse
flavour
(be learned going in that you need two hours to get the bulghur soft).
It’s a great dish to livelihood in the front of your mind during the summertime months when ripe tomatoes, cucumbers and fat bunches of herbs are pronto available. This recipe is modified from my second cookbook, "Dinnertime Solved!"
