Time to get a little Bulgur

Hahaha, bulgur instead of vulger, get it?  Sometimes I hurt myself.

So I spent WAY too much time this weekend watching Food Network and saw a recipe by Ina Garten for a Greek Bulgur Wheat salad.  She used it to stuff a pita, but I wanted it as a warm salad.  I wasn't sure how it would be, especially since I've never had or heard of bulgur wheat before.  But you know what, not only is it good for you, it's mighty tasty too! 

My first challenge was finding it because I didn't really know what i was looking for.  I looked with the rice, with the beans, I hunted two places high and low.  Finally, like a sign from the heavens, I checked by the baking goods and there it was by the flour. 

Cook bring 2 cups of chicken broth to a boil and pour over 1 cup of bulgar wheat.  Allow to sit for about 15-20 minutes and drain off extra broth. 

Chop 2 cups or so of cherry tomatoes in half.

Chop 4 tablespoons or so of fresh mint

Chop 1/4 cup of green onion

Place over bulgur wheat while it's still warm, add 1/2 cup of feta cheese and squeeze the juice of one lemon over the top, then toss.  Salt and pepper to taste.

I really found this surprisingly good!  I will definately make it again. 

Oh, and I actually remembered to take a picture of it this time!  Yes, I just use my phone and don't have any models, so it's real and raw :O)

About Me

Well, how can I explain the person who has a very seldom updated blog about food and one about navigating life? Visit the food and enjoy, but now my focus is on trying to help me understand myself and hopefully help other's along the way.
