FREEKEH TABBOULEH



Freekeh tabbouleh image

Freekeh is a fabulous alternative to brown rice and other grains. It's high in fiber and protein and deliciously replaces bulgur in this version of tabbouleh. A green, durum wheat by-product, freekeh has been roasted and cracked to release its naturally nutty, slightly earthy, smoky flavor. It cooks quickly, which is a plus, and it's rubbed texture helps it to soak up all the delicious herbs and citrus in this brightly flavored salad. Make sure you allow the freekeh to cool completely before tossing it with the veggies and dressing it. Added too soon, the freekeh could end up mushy instead of having the great texture this ancient grain has become known for having.

CLASSIC TABBOULEH SALAD



Classic Tabbouleh Salad image

This basic tabbouleh salad (aka tabouli) made with cracked wheat bulgur, tomatoes, cucumber, and parsley is easy and delicious.

Provided by Molly Watson

Categories     Salad     Side Dish     Lunch     Salad

Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup cracked wheat bulgur
1 teaspoon fine sea salt (divided)
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 clove garlic
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley
4 tomatoes
1 English or hothouse cucumber

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Put the bulgur in a medium bowl and sprinkle it with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Add the boiling water, cover, and let sit for 20 minutes (or up to 60 minutes depending on the brand) until softened.
  • While the bulgar sits, make the dressing. Pulse the garlic in a food processor until minced, then add the olive oil and lemon juice and whirl into a dressing-like consistency. Or, whirl the olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic in a blender .
  • Add the mint leaves, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Blend until the mint leaves are well worked into the dressing and the dressing is more or less smooth. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if you like.
  • Remove the parsley leaves from the stems; discard the stems or save them for another use. Roughly chop the leaves. Core, seed, and chop the tomatoes. Peel, seed, and chop the cucumber. Set aside.
  • Check the bulgur: It should have absorbed all of the water, but there may be a bit in the bottom of the bowl. It should also be tender to the bite. If it's not, stir, cover, and let sit for 10 more minutes. If it's tender and there's water in the bowl, either drain the bulgur in a fine-mesh sieve or lift it out with a slotted spoon and into a separate bowl.
  • Pour the dressing over the bulgur and toss to combine well. Add the parsley and toss to combine well. Add the tomatoes and cucumber and stir to mix.
  • Serve immediately or cover and chill (up to overnight). Enjoy.

  • Cook freekeh in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, 20–30 minutes. Drain and spread out on a rimmed baking sheet; season with kosher salt and pepper while still warm. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together shallot, chile, ginger, oil, lime juice, maple syrup, and 2 tsp. sumac. Taste dressing and season with kosher salt. Let sit 10 minutes.
  • Cut pomegranates in half. Working over a large bowl, hold a pomegranate half cut side down in your palm with your fingers stretched wide. Use a wooden spoon to forcefully and repeatedly smack pomegranate skin, which will send the seeds raining down into the bowl. Repeat with remaining pomegranate. Fill bowl with cold water to cover seeds. Skim off any little bits of pith that float to the surface; drain seeds and shake off excess liquid.
  • Toss parsley, fennel, fennel fronds, and mint in a large bowl. Add freekeh, season with kosher salt, and toss gently to combine. Add dressing and toss with your hands to thoroughly coat ingredients. Add pomegranate seeds and toss gently to disperse. Sprinkle with sea salt and more sumac.
