QUINOA TABBOULEH WITH FETA



Quinoa Tabbouleh with Feta image

This quinoa tabbouleh is one of my go-to recipes. Quinoa, a grain that originated in South America, is considered a superfood because it contains more protein than most grains. It has a nutty flavor that tastes wonderful with the cucumbers, tomatoes, scallions, feta and mint, and it's a great gluten-free alternative to traditional bulgur wheat. Best of all, you can make this salad ahead; if it sits at room temperature for a few hours, the lemon vinaigrette really has time to soak into the quinoa and vegetables, so the salad is even more delicious!

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup quinoa
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
1/4 cup good olive oil
1 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts (5 scallions)
1 cup chopped fresh mint leaves (2 bunches)
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 hothouse cucumber, unpeeled, seeded and medium-diced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved through the stem
2 cups medium-diced feta (8 ounces)

Steps:

  • Pour 2 cups of water into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the quinoa and 1 teaspoon of salt, lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes, until the grains are tender and open (they'll have little curly tails). Drain, place in a bowl and immediately add the lemon juice, olive oil and 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt.*
  • In a large bowl, combine the scallions, mint, parsley, cucumber, tomatoes, 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt* and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Add the quinoa and mix well. Carefully fold in the feta and taste for seasonings. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate and serve cold.
  • * Ina uses Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt, which is coarser than other brands; if you are using a finer-grain kosher salt such as Morton, use the smaller amount.

WALNUT, FETA & APPLE TABBOULEH



Walnut, Feta & Apple Tabbouleh image

Not your usual Tabbouleh, this salad merely has a similar consistency and shares some common ingredients with its authentic cousin. It has a lot of crunch thanks to the apple, radish and walnuts, and involves no actual 'cooking'. The bulgur and dressing could easily be made a day in advance, but I do find it tastes best if the salad, fully combined, is allowed to sit for about 30 minutes to an hour before serving. Ideal to share, bring it along to your next potluck party! Serves 6-8 easily as a side. Prep time includes the 30 minutes it takes for the bulgur to soak.

Categories     Grains

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup bulgur, uncooked
2 cups vegetable broth, boiling
1 cup green peas (frozen is OK)
boiling water
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, fresh
2 teaspoons marjoram, dried
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 green apple (tart one such as a Granny Smith)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 large ripe beefsteak tomato
1/4 medium red onion
3 red radishes
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup fresh parsley, packed

Steps:

  • Place the bulgur into a medium sized ceramic or Pyrex bowl. Pour the boiling vegetable stock over top and stir. Cover it with a loose fitting lid or a tea towel and set aside for 30 minutes. If using frozen peas, set them into a similar bowl and cover with boiling or very hot water and set aside.
  • Finely mince the clove of garlic, or pass through a garlic press. Place it in a small bowl and whisk together with the rest of the dressing ingredients; apple cider vinegar, olive oil, marjoram, sea salt and black pepper. Set aside. While the bulgur and dressing sit, prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  • Keep in mind that a small dice will best suit the fine bulgur wheat (i.e., a 1/4-1/2 inch dice). Dice the green apple, add it into your salad bowl and sprinkle with the single teaspoon of vinegar (to stop it from browning). Seed and dice the tomato, dice the red onion and the radish and add them all into the salad bowl along with the feta cheese and walnuts. Finely mince the fresh parsley and add it to the bowl.
  • By now 30 minutes have likely passed, check the bulgur by fluffing it with a fork. It should be cooked, but still al dente. Allow it to cool down slightly if it hasn't already.
  • Add the peas to the salad (straining first of course if they were previously frozen), along with the cooled down bulgur. Re-whisk the dressing and pour it over the salad, toss gently to thoroughly combine. Enjoy!

FRUITY TABBOULEH WITH FETA



Fruity tabbouleh with feta image

Use up a few storecupboard staples in this bulgur wheat salad packed with dried fruit, nuts and herbs

Provided by Ren Behan

Categories     Lunch, Main course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

100g bulgur wheat
6 tbsp olive oil
100g couscous
200g mixed shelled nut , roughly chopped (any mixture of almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans and pistachios)
200g mixed dried fruit , large fruit chopped (any mixture of raisins, sultanas, apricots, dates and cranberries)
zest and juice 2 lemons
small pack mint , leaves roughly chopped
small pack flat-leaf parsley , leaves roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves , crushed
100g feta cheese , crumbled
grilled lamb or pork chops , to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Boil the kettle. Put the bulgur wheat in a sieve and rinse with cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well and transfer to a mixing bowl. Pour over 200ml boiling water and 1 tbsp olive oil, cover with a plate and leave to soak for 30 mins. Meanwhile, put the couscous into a second mixing bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil, just cover with boiling water, then cover with a plate and leave to stand for 5-10 mins.
  • Once the bulgur wheat and couscous are ready, put them in a mixing bowl and fluff up the grains with a fork. Stir through the nuts and dried fruit, too.
  • Whisk together the lemon zest and juice, herbs, remaining olive oil and the garlic. Pour over the grains, nuts and fruit, and stir everything together well with some seasoning. Transfer to a serving plate, scatter with the crumbled feta, and serve with grilled lamb or pork chops, if you like.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. Different apples will give your tabbouleh different flavors and textures. Tart apples, such as Granny Smith, will add a bright, acidic flavor, while sweeter apples, such as Honeycrisp, will add a more mellow flavor. You can also use a mix of apples for a more complex flavor profile.
  • Toast the walnuts. Toasting the walnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will give your tabbouleh a bright, herbaceous flavor. Parsley, mint, and cilantro are all good choices. You can also use a mix of herbs for a more complex flavor profile.
  • Don't overmix the tabbouleh. Tabbouleh is a delicate dish, and overmixing it will make it mushy. Gently toss the ingredients together until they are evenly combined.
  • Serve the tabbouleh chilled. Tabbouleh is best served chilled, so make it ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Walnut feta apple tabbouleh is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give walnut feta apple tabbouleh a try. You won't be disappointed!
