  • Prep Time 5 minutes
  • Total Time 35 minutes
  • Yield Serves 1

Ingredients

    • 1/3 cup medium-grind bulgur
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
    • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
    • 1/2 small shallot, minced
    • 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
    • 2 teaspoons olive oil
    • 1 ounce fresh goat cheese, crumbled

Directions

  1. In a heatproof bowl, mix bulgur with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 cup boiling water. Cover, and let stand until tender but slightly chewy, about 30 minutes.
  2. Drain bulgur in a fine-mesh sieve, pressing to remove liquid; return to bowl. Add tomatoes, parsley, shallot, vinegar, and oil. Season with salt and pepper, and toss. Top with cheese.

Cook's Note

Bulgur is precooked wheat that's been dried and cracked. It has a nutty taste and is sold alongside rice in many supermarkets.
