Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup bulgur
1/2 cup tahini
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup fresh mint
3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup panko
1/2 large seedless cucumber, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Bring 2 cups water to a boil. Pour over the bulgur in a large bowl; cover and set aside until tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the tahini, 1 tablespoon each olive oil and lemon juice, the garlic and a big pinch each of salt and pepper in a food processor. Add 1/2 cup small ice cubes and process, scraping down the food processor as needed, until smooth and all the ice has melted. Remove 1/2 cup to a small bowl for the dressing.
  • Add 1/2 cup mint, the peas and cumin to the food processor with the remaining tahini mixture and puree until smooth. Add the chickpeas, panko and a pinch each of salt and pepper; pulse until combined but still a little chunky. Scoop the mixture into 12 balls, about 2 tablespoons each.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the falafel and cook, turning, until browned, adding 1 more tablespoon oil when the pan gets dry, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Pour off any unabsorbed water from the bulgur. Add the cucumber, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Tear the remaining 1/2 cup mint and add to the bulgur; season with salt and pepper and toss. Divide among plates; top with the falafel. Thin the dressing with the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice if needed and drizzle on the falafel.

  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use for cooking the bulgur will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Use a vegetable broth or chicken broth that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Cook the bulgur according to the package directions: Different brands of bulgur may have different cooking times, so be sure to follow the instructions on the package.
  • Fluff the bulgur with a fork before serving: This will help to separate the grains and make the bulgur light and fluffy.
  • Add your favorite vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Try adding some chopped carrots, celery, or zucchini to the bulgur salad.
  • Experiment with different herbs and spices: The herbs and spices in this recipe can be adjusted to suit your taste. Try adding some cumin, coriander, or paprika for a different flavor profile.
