Bulgur with Herbs Recipe

Bulgur with Herbs Recipe

  • 1 cup bulgur
  • 2 cups boiling-hot water
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 cup chopped scallions (from 1 bunch)
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup chopped mint
  • 1 tablespoon store-bought roasted-almond oil or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
  1. Put bulgur in a bowl, then pour hot water (2 cups) over it and cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let stand until tender, about 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a small heavy skillet over medium heat until hot, then cook almonds, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute.
  3. Drain bulgur in a medium-mesh sieve, then return to bowl and stir in scallions, herbs, store-bought roasted-almond oil (or additional olive oil), 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and almonds (with oil). Season with salt and more lemon juice if desired. Serve at room temperature.
