Ingredients
1 cup bulgur (see note)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
4 tablespoons minced parsley
4 tablespoons minced fresh mint
2 cup shelled fresh peas or frozen peas
3 green onions
1 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preparation
- Step 1
Cover bulgur with hot water and allow to stand for 30 minutes. Drain thoroughly, squeezing out additional water with hands.
- Step 2
Cook the fresh peas in boiling water for 1 minute and drain. Or defrost frozen peas but do not cook.
- Step 3
Combine peas with bulgur and remaining ingredients except for yogurt. Then stir in yogurt to coat thoroughly.
Use the coarse bulgur, not the cracked, sometimes called cracked wheat, which has a finer grain. For added fiber (plus calories and fat), ½ cup toasted sliced almonds may be added.
