Hi,
Someone asked me for more bulgur recipes. Although I use bulgur
fairly regularly, this was the only one I could find. I haven't
made it since my husband discovered he is allergic to tomatoes,
but up till then, it was one we liked.
Enjoy!

--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2  cup           coarsely ground bulgur
                        cold water to cover
     1/3  cup           finely chopped onion
     1/2  cup           chopped parsley
   3      medium        tomatoes -- chopped
     1/3  cup           lemon juice
   1      teaspoon      kelp powder or salt
     1/4  cup           olive oil
   2      tablespoons   finely chopped fresh mint, OR
   1      tablespoon    dried mint
                        Garnish:
                        romaine lettuce
                        fresh parsley or mint

Place bulgur in a bowl and pour enough cold water over bulgur to cover 
completely. Allow it to soak for about 10-15 minutes.

Drain bulgur in a sieve or colander lined with a double thickness of dampened cheesecloth. Wrap the bulgur in the cheesecloth and squeeze it vigorously until completely dry.

Place the drained bulgur in a deep bowl and add the chopped onion, parsley, 
tomatoes, lemon juice and kelp powder or sal. Toss the mixture gently but 
thoroughly. Place in refrigerator, covered, for about one hour to blend flavors.

Just before serving, stir in the olive oil and the chopped mint; adjust seasoning. Mound the salad in a serving dish surround by romaine lettuce leaves. Garnish with additional mint or fresh parsley, if desired.

4-6 servings.
