Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     weekday, side dish

Time 1h30m

Yield Four main-dish servings or eight side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup bulgur
3 cups boiling water
8 medium tomatoes, ripe but firm
1 small red onion, peeled and diced small
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/3 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Olive oil spray

Steps:

  • Place the bulgur in a large bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Let stand for 1 hour. Drain well. Meanwhile, slice the top 1/4 inch off of the tomatoes. Scoop out the center of the tomatoes, being careful not to tear the shells; reserve the insides for another use. Place the tomatoes, tops and bottoms, on a layer of paper towels, cut side down. Let stand for 30 minutes. Pat the inside of the tomatoes dry.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add the onion, feta, raisins, parsley and mint to the bulgur and stir to combine. Mix in the olive oil, salt and pepper. Spray a baking sheet lightly with the olive oil. Spoon the filling into the tomato shells, top with the lids and place on the baking sheet.
  • Bake just until the tomatoes are tender and the filling is hot, about 20 minutes; do not let the tomatoes get too soft. Divide among plates and serve immediately.

Tips for Cooking Bulgur with Onion, Tomato, and Feta:

  • Choose a high-quality bulgur: Look for whole grain bulgur that has a nutty flavor and a chewy texture.
  • Soak the bulgur before cooking: Soaking the bulgur in hot water for 30 minutes will help to soften it and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a flavorful broth: Use a vegetable broth or chicken broth instead of water to add more flavor to the bulgur.
  • Add aromatics: Sauteing onions, garlic, and other aromatics in olive oil before adding the bulgur will help to develop a rich flavor.
  • Season the bulgur: Be generous with salt and pepper, and add other spices and herbs to taste.
  • Cook the bulgur until it is tender: The bulgur should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
