Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring broth and bulgur to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until tender and broth is almost absorbed. Remove from the heat; let stand at room temperature, uncovered, until broth is absorbed. , In a small bowl, whisk the oil, lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper. , In a large serving bowl, combine the bulgur, beans, tomatoes, cucumber and onions. Drizzle with dressing; toss to coat. Sprinkle with cheese and pine nuts.

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Trim artichokes and cut medium artichokes into quarters, cut large ones into 6ths or 8ths, rubbing cut surfaces with lemon and placing the pieces in a bowl of water acidulated with lemon juice as you work.
• Drain artichokes and dry as thoroughly as you can with paper towels. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and toss artichoke wedges with the olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Take care to coat all cut surfaces with olive oil.
• Place in oven and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, turning artichokes every 10 minutes, until the hearts are tender and edges of the leaves are browned, even charred.
• Meanwhile, make bulgur salad. Place bulgur in a bowl with salt to taste (I use 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt) and pour on 2 cups hot or boiling water. Allow to sit for 20 to 25 minutes, until most of water is absorbed. Drain and press against strainer to remove excess water.
• While bulgur is soaking, make dressing. Mix together lemon juice, garlic, mustard, and salt to taste. Whisk in olive oil. Toss with bulgur in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients, toss together, taste and adjust seasonings.
