CRACKED WHEAT SALAD WITH GREEN OLIVES AND GOLDEN RAISINS



Cracked Wheat Salad with Green Olives and Golden Raisins image

Provided by Susan Spicer

Categories     Salad     Olive     Side     Raisin     Simmer     Boil

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup wheat berries
Salt
1 1/2 cups bulgur
Finely grated zest of 4 lemons (about 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons)
Grated zest of 2 medium oranges (4-5 tablespoons)
Juice of 2 lemons (about 6 tablespoons)
Juice of 2 oranges (about 2/3 cup)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, optional
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1/2 cup green olives, pitted and roughly chopped
1/2 cup golden raisins, plumped and roughly chopped
3/4 cup thinly sliced celery hearts

Steps:

  • Place the wheat berries, a sprinkling of salt, and enough water to cover them by 2 inches in a 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until the wheat berries are tender but not mushy, about 45 minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, place the bulgur in a large bowl and cover with 1 1/2 cups of steaming hot water. Let it sit about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water is absorbed and the bulgur is soft. (I always taste it; the bulgur shouldn't have any crunch or hard edges.) Add the cooked wheat berries to the bulgur.
  • Whisk together the citrus zests, juices, olive oil, kosher salt, and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Add the dressing to the grains and toss well. Add the parsley, mint, cilantro, olives, raisins, and celery hearts, and use a rubber spatula to combine enough to moisten all ingredients. Taste again for seasonings, adding additional salt, citrus juice, or olive oil as needed.

TRIPLE-HERB FREEKEH



Triple-Herb Freekeh image

Meet freekeh ("free-kuh"), a toasted and cracked wheat similar to bulgur. It has a slightly smoky and nutty flavor and a pleasant chew, and is a good source of fiber and protein. If you can't find it in your grocery store, cooked brown rice is a great substitute.

1 cup cracked freekeh
1/2 a small red onion, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 medium lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add 8 cups water and the freekeh to a medium saucepan and boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Strain.
  • Meanwhile, soak the onions in ice water in a small bowl for 10 minutes. Strain well.
  • Whisk together the onions, basil, dill, parsley, oil, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add the cooked freekah and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and add the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Serve warm or at room temperature. (Alternatively, serve chilled, adding an additional tablespoon of lemon juice just before serving.)
