Ingredients
-
1.5 cups water
.5 tsp ground cinnamon
.5 tsp salt
1 cup bulgur
.5 cup lentils (Red makes the dish look nicer.)
3 tbsp pine nuts (I subbed sunflower seeds b/c they're cheaper--worked fine!)
.5 cup chopped pitted dates
.5 cup dried apricots
.5 cup chopped fresh parsley (Dried is okay but not as flavorful, obviously.)
.3 cup chopped fresh mint (Can sub basil or parsley, if in a pinch.)
2 tbsp EVOO
.25 cup lemon juice
2 tsp lemon zest
Tips
The prep time is exaggerated--most of it is "wait" time. This is an easy recipe!
Directions
1..Bring water, cinanamon, & half the salt to a boil; stir in bulgur, romve from heat, cover pan, & set aside utni the water has been absorbed, about 30 min. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
2. Combine lentils and remaining salt in a saucepan; add enough water to cover by an inch. Bring to a simmer and cook until the lentils are just tender, 10-15 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water, pressing firmly to remove excess water.
3. Toast pine nuts in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
4. Add all ingredients to the bulgur, reserving half the pine nuts to sprinkle on top, if desired.
