Now for the good part

Let’s make it.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Simmer bulgur in water for 10–15 minutes or according to the packet. Drain any excess water and fluff with a fork.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Spread bulgur on a plate for 5 minutes. Whisk oil and lemon juice in a large bowl.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    Add bulgur, tomatoes, cucumber, olives and parsley. Toss, then crumble feta on top. Taste before salting.

Little things that help

Make it your own.

  • Choose medium or coarse bulgur; very fine bulgur may need soaking instead of simmering.

Keeping the leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow covered containers within 2 hours. Use within 3 days and reheat until steaming hot throughout; reheated leftovers should reach 74°C / 165°F.
