BULGUR WHEAT SALAD WITH BLACK BEANS AND PEACHES, LIME VINAIGRETTEAUTO DRAFT



Bulgur wheat salad with black beans and peaches, lime vinaigretteAuto Draft image

Number Of Ingredients 18

Serves 6
1 cup (170 g) medium or coarse grain bulgur
2 firm peaches (or nectarines)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup (1ounce/25 g) flat leaf parsley (or a mix of parsley and cilantro), chopped
1/4 ounce (7 g) fresh dill, chopped
1/4 ounce (7 g) fresh chives, chopped
1 cup (170 g) cooked black beans, drained (and rinsed if using canned)
2 scallions, finely chopped
salt and pepper
3 cups baby spinach leaves
Lime vinaigrette:
Juice and zest of 2 limes
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Place bulgar in a medium size bowl and add enough boiling water to cover the surface of the grains by at least 2 inches. (its about a 3 to 1 ratio) Let the bulgar soak for 10 to 15 minutes, just until tender. Drain and spread the grains out on a tea towel to air dry while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  • Peel and dice the peaches into 1 inch cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a sauté pan. When hot, add the cubes and sauté until the fruit softens and they loose their raw look, about 1 to 2 minutes, but not more. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • For the vinaigrette, combine the lime juice, zest, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk until sugar and salt have dissolved. Add the olive oil and whisk to combine, set aside.
  • Put the bulgur, chopped herbs, black beans and scallions in a salad bowl. Add the sautéed peaches and 3/4's of the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Taste and add more vinaigrette if necessary. The salad can hold for several hours at this point - the flavours will only improve. Just before serving, toss the spinach leaves into the salad, or dress the leaves separately and use as a garnish.

BULGUR WHEAT AND ROASTED VEGETABLE SALAD



Bulgur Wheat and Roasted Vegetable Salad image

Invented this while trying to use up the fresh contents of my fridge before going on holiday, and was surprised at the yummy outcome! It's really healthy and balanced nutrient-wise, but if you aren't keen on some of the ingredients (such as the seeds, or a vegetable or two) you can substitute pretty much anything else (tuna, cooked meat, other vegetable of choice) and it's still really tasty. It keeps in the fridge in an air-tight container for about two days, and could also be eaten warm if you can't wait for the ingredients to cool. Bear in mind this serves one person (as a main meal, or two people as a snack), but is easily doubled etc.

Time 30m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup Bulgar wheat
1/2 pint cold water
1 tablespoon linseeds
2 tablespoons pine nuts (mixed) or 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds (mixed)
1 (230 g) can tomatoes
1 garlic clove
1 small courgette
1 small carrot
1 regular-sized onion
1/2 red pepper
2 mushrooms
2 teaspoons mixed herbs
1 teaspoon paprika
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Cover bulgur wheat with cold water in a saucepan, partially cover pan with lid, bring water/wheat to boil and then simmer for approximately 10 minutes or until cooked (wheat should have a plump, soft but slightly chewy consistency, take care that the water does not boil over the pan or the wheat will go everywhere!).
  • Drain wheat in sieve, rinse with recently boiled water to remove starch, set aside in a bowl to cool.
  • Wash and slice courgette, carrot and 1/2 the onion fairly thinly, chop pepper and mushrooms a little more chunkily (i like my pepper slightly crunchy, but prepare according to your taste).
  • Mix veggies on a baking tray with 1 tsp oil, 1 tsp herbs, paprika and salt (this can be ommitted if you're watching your salt intake, the flavour of the veggies is still yummy).
  • Grill vegetables under a moderately high grill until browned at the edges/cooked to your taste, remembering to turn after about 5-10 minutes to ensure cooking on both sides, set aside to cool.
  • Chop the other 1/2 onion and the garlic clove, blend can tomatoes in a food processor (alternatively you could buy passata, or concentrated tomato juice); mix with onion, 1 tsp herbs, pinch black pepper, garlic and 1tsp olive oil in a saucepan.
  • Cover with a pan-lid and simmer tomato sauce over a low heat for 10-15 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by about 1/3- it should be a relatively runny paste (alternatively you can microwave the sauce in a bowl, covered with microwave cling-film, for approximately 3 minutes on a high setting, followed by another three on a medium setting), set aside to cool.
  • To the cooled bulgur wheat, add the linseeds and mixed pine nuts/pumpkin and sunflower seeds; mix the cooled sauce with the cooled vegetables, toss into the wheat/seeds.
  • Enjoy, (or store in an airtight container in the fridge and eat within two days).

ARMENIAN BULGUR WHEAT AND LENTILS WITH SWEET PEPPERS



Armenian Bulgur Wheat and Lentils With Sweet Peppers image

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.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked bulgur wheat. Simply follow the package instructions to cook the bulgur wheat and then let it cool before assembling the salad.
  • If you don't have fresh peaches, you can use frozen or canned peaches instead. Just be sure to thaw the frozen peaches before using them.
  • For a more flavorful salad, grill the peaches before adding them to the salad. This will give them a slightly smoky flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to the salad, such as crumbled feta cheese, chopped nuts, or dried fruit.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. The salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Bulgur wheat and peach salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for summer. It is made with simple ingredients that are easy to find, and it can be prepared in just a few minutes. The salad is also a good source of fiber and vitamins, making it a healthy choice for lunch or dinner.
