MEXICAN TABBOULEH

Steps:

• Bring the chicken stock to a boil on high in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and add bulgur wheat. Stir to mix well, then cover and set aside. It needs to sit for 30 minutes, so now we work on the other components.
• Chop, slice and dice the veggies (tomatoes, green pepper, onion, chile) and throw them, beans and corn in a medium salad bowl, or if you plan on saving some for later in the week, it's easiest to put it directly in a large bowl of your food storage container of choice.
• Add dressing ingredients (the next 8 ingredients) to a bowl except oil, add slowly at the end whisking until combined.
• Allow bulgur wheat to cool, then add it to the veggies and toss to combine. Pour on the dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour. Remove from the fridge, add avocado, toss to combine (if you're looking at leftovers, keep avocado separate, tightly wrapped). Top with chips. Ole!

CHIPOTLE-PALE ALE CHILI WITH MEXICAN BROWN RICE TABBOULEH

Steps:

• Heat a small amount of olive oil in a large heavy-bottom pot over high heat. Working in 2 batches, sear the cubed meat, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned. Transfer the meat to a large bowl and add more oil to the pan between batches if needed.
• Add a little more oil to the pot. Sear the ground sirloin over high heat, stirring and breaking up chunks with a wooden spoon, until browned. Transfer to the bowl with the cubed meat.
• Return all the meat to the pot and add the cumin and salt and pepper. Stir for a few seconds until fragrant. Add the ale, tomatoes, refried beans, chipotle peppers and garlic. Season with another few pinches of salt and pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, at least 1 hour. Keep tasting and seasoning with salt, pepper and more adobo sauce from the chipotles. Serve with Mexican Brown Rice Tabbouleh.
• Combine the rice with 4 cups of room-temperature water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat so the water just simmers, cover the pot, and cook until the water is absorbed, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the lime juice, red onion, oil, garlic and some salt and pepper. Add the bell pepper, all but 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, and the mint to the rice; drizzle with the red onion mixture and toss to combine. Add more salt, black pepper and lime juice to taste. Garnish with the reserved 1 tablespoon cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

LEBANESE TABBOULEH

Steps:

• Place the bulgur in a bowl, and cover with water by 1/2 inch. Soak for 20 minutes, until slightly softened. Drain through a cheesecloth-lined strainer, and press the bulgur against the strainer to squeeze out excess water. Transfer to a large bowl, and toss with the garlic, lemon juice, parsley, mint, tomatoes, scallions and salt. Leave at room temperature or in the refrigerator for two to three hours, so that the bulgur can continue to absorb liquid and swell.
• Add the olive oil, toss together, taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with lettuce leaves.

Steps:

• Rinse the bulgur wheat in a sieve until the water runs clear. Drain well, then transfer to a bowl. Pour over 200ml boiling water, cover with cling film and leave to soak for 30 mins or so while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• Keeping the parsley in a bunch, chop the leaves roughly. Don't worry about the inclusion of some of the stalks; this all adds to the flavour. Now do the same with the mint. Put the chopped herbs in a large bowl and add the tomato and spring onion.
• Thoroughly drain the bulgur, then add to herb mix, along with lemon juice and olive oil. Mix thoroughly, season and serve.
