Introduction

This is straight from the Moosewodd cookbook, but uses only 1/8 a cup of oil to cut calories. (1/8 cup = 2TBS). Can substitute zuccini or other veggie for the cucumber and can add chickpeas if desired. Also very good (lighter, sweeter flavor) when made with Quinoi instead of Bulgar Wheat.

Ingredients

    1 cup Bulgar Wheat
    1.5 cups of boiling water
    1.5 tsp of salt (or less if desired)
    1/4 cup of fresh lemon or lime juice
    1 tsp of garlic- crushed and/or minced
    1/2 cup of scallions- chopped
    1 cup of fresh parlsey- chopped and packed
    1 chopped cucumber or summer squash (or other veggie)
    1/2 tsp of dried mint flakes or 15-20 leaves of fresh mint
    2 TBS olive oil (good quality)
    fresh black pepper to taste

    Optional (Not included in calorie count):
    1/2 cup of chick peas
    feta cheese sprinkled on as a topping

Directions

1. Combine bulgar wheat, boiling water, and salt in a bowl. Cover and let it stand 15-20 minutes or until bulgar is chewable.

2. Add the lemon juice, garlic, oil, and mint and mix thoroughly. Refrigerate 2-3 hours.

3. After 2-3 hours, add the chopped tomatoes, scallions, parsely, and cucumber. (I chop them while the bulgar is doing its 15-20 minute soak, and I refrigerate separately.

4. After mixing everything together, adjust seasonings as desired.

Makes 6 1 cup servings.
