Bulgur is basically cracked wheat, and its really nice in salads. They are two ways of preparing it. You can either boil it, or- which is the no-cook part, soak it in water for about 3 hours. Which is very nice and simple and now with the heat makes things a lot easier! Let’s face it, who wants to cook with this heat? I m getting lazy and do nothing…So, its not even a recipe!
Just be careful because cracked wheat triples in volume when soaked i water. 3/4 DRY will make you around 2 cups!
-3/4 cup cracked wheat
-water
-1 onion
-1 tomato
-half lemon
-1 garlic clove
-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Soak the wheat in about 2 cups water until it becomes soft. If the is any water left, drain. Dice tomatoes and onion and mix with wheat. Crush garlic and mix with lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper. Toss everything together and place in the fridge for 15 minutes!
-salt&pepper to taste
