EECH (ARMENIAN BULGUR SIDE DISH)
A tangy, savory Armenian side dish that can be served warm, room temperature or cold. I first tried it at St. Mary's Armenian Church in Florida at their food fest and became instantly hooked. It is a mixture of bulgur (cracked wheat), onions, tomatoes, peppers and parsley.

ARMENIAN BULGUR WHEAT AND LENTILS WITH SWEET PEPPERS
A delicious meatless main course or hearty appetizer. This is adapted from a recipe in Feast From the Mideast by Faye Levy, with a few minor changes. Her recipe includes parsley, which you may add at the last step, but I'm not a big parsley fan so I omit it. I recently discovered bulgur wheat and am looking for more ways to enjoy this delicious, easy-to-use grain.

ARMENIAN MEAT SOUP WITH BULGUR
Yield serves 6
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Put the meat in a large pan with the water and bring to the boil. Remove the scum. Add the carrot and onion, both whole, and the cinnamon. Season with salt and pepper, and simmer gently, covered, for 1 1/2-2 hours, or until the meat is very tender, adding water as needed. Remove the vegetables. Lift out the meat, cut it up into pieces, and put it back in the pan. Add the bulgur and simmer for about 15 minutes, until it is tender. Add more water if the porridge becomes too thick. The bulgur will absorb a lot of liquid and expand considerably.
- Serve garnished with parsley.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chicken. Organic or free-range chicken is best.
- Rinse the bulgur wheat well before cooking. This will remove any dirt or debris.
- Toast the bulgur wheat in a little bit of butter or oil before cooking. This will give it a nutty flavor.
- Use a flavorful broth. Chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth are all good options.
- Add vegetables to the soup. Carrots, celery, and onions are classic additions, but you can use any vegetables you like.
- Season the soup to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are good starting points, but you can add other spices and herbs as desired.
- Serve the soup hot with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream.
Conclusion:
Armenian-style chicken and bulgur wheat soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of chicken, bulgur wheat, vegetables, and spices, this soup is sure to become a family favorite.
