Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course, side dish

Time 1h35m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup dried chickpeas, soaked in 1 quart water for six hours or overnight and drained
Salt to taste
1 cup coarse bulgur wheat
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch scallions, finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, or a mixture of parsley and dill
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Drain the soaked chickpeas, and place in a pot with 1 quart water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer one hour. Add salt to taste and continue to simmer for 30 minutes to an hour, until the chickpeas are tender.
  • Place the bulgur in a 2-quart bowl. Place a strainer over the bowl, and drain the chickpeas so that the hot broth covers the bulgur. Set the chickpeas aside. Cover the bowl, and allow the bulgur to sit until fluffy, about 20 to 30 minutes. Strain and press out excess liquid.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet, and add the scallions. Cook, stirring, until tender, two or three minutes. Stir in the garlic, and continue to cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Stir in the bulgur and chickpeas. Add the herbs and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and toss together. Remove from the heat, add lemon juice and pepper, taste and adjust salt. Add more lemon juice if desired. Serve hot or room temperature.

BULGUR PILAF WITH CHICKPEAS



Bulgur Pilaf With Chickpeas image

Adapted from "The PDQ Vegetarian Cookbook" by Donna Klein. The recipe recommends fancy (fine grain) bulgur as it cooks faster, although none of the stores I went to had more than one kind to pick from so I took what I could get (I believe it was medium). The original recipe also called for frozen chopped onion and jarred minced garlic - I used fresh. This recipe was my first experience with toasted sesame oil - delicious!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup Bulgar wheat
1 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil (dark)
1/2 onions, chopped or 1/2 cup onion, frozen chopped

1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 cup low sodium vegetable broth
2 tablespoons diced pimentos, drained (optional)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine bulgur and boiling water. Let stand 10 minutes to soften.
  • In a deep-sided skillet with a lid heat olive oil and sesame oil over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and cook, stirring until softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
  • Add the chickpeas, broth, reserved bulgur (and any accumulated water at bottom of bowl), pimiento (if using), cumin, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine; bring mixture to boil over high heat.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until the bulgur has absorbed all the liquid, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bulgur. Look for bulgur that is made from whole grain wheat and has a nutty flavor.

  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth is the base of the pilaf, so make sure it is flavorful. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water with bouillon cubes.
  • Add vegetables and herbs. Vegetables and herbs add flavor and color to the pilaf. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, peas, and parsley.
  • Cook the pilaf until the bulgur is tender. The bulgur should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
