BULGUR SALAD WITH GREENS, BARBERRIES AND YOGURT
I bought some dried barberries at my Iranian market not too long ago and have been adding them to frittatas and salads. They're tart dried fruits, about the size of currants. You can substitute dried cranberries or dried cherries for them.

Steps:
- Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the bulgur and salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat, uncover and place a clean dishtowel over the pan, then replace the lid. Allow to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes. Uncover and place on a baking sheet or in a wide bowl to cool.
- Meanwhile, strip the chard leaves from the stems (retain the stems if they're wide and meaty) and wash well in 2 changes of water. Steam above 1 inch of boiling water for about 2 minutes, until wilted; alternatively, blanch for about 1 minute in salted boiling water. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, then drain and squeeze out excess water, taking the chard up by the handful. Chop fine.
- Dice the chard stems. Measure out 1 cup. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet and add the chard stems. Cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes, just until crisp-tender. Add 1 minced garlic clove, stir for about 30 seconds, until fragrant, and remove from the heat.
- Combine the bulgur, chopped chard, chard stems, chopped tarragon and mint, za'atar, allspice and barberries in a large bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and olive oil. Toss with the bulgur mixture. Transfer to a platter or a wide salad bowl.
- Pound the remaining garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle. Stir into the yogurt. Spoon on top of the salad and serve.

BULGUR AND LENTIL SALAD
The best lentils for this hearty salad are French green lentils or black beluga lentils. They're more likely to stay intact while cooking than brown lentils.

BEET GREENS BULGUR WITH CARROTS AND TOMATOES
Bulgur and greens are a classic Greek combo. I have added carrots to brighten up the dish. I love the lemony finish. If you are not committed to a vegan version of the dish I recommend that you top each serving with feta. The bulgur-vegetable mix makes a comforting, satisfying meal - though you could also serve this as a side dish.

BULGUR MUJADARA
Mujadara is one of the most popular dishes across the Levant, with a complex taste that belies its simple ingredients. The mix of contrasting tastes - sweet onions with savory hearty lentils, tender bulgur with crunchy fried onions - is a feast for the tastebuds. The dish is quite forgiving as there is no right or wrong texture. Some people prefer it fluffy like a pilaf while others prefer it more dense, like sticky rice. This version falls somewhere in the middle. Since lentils and bulgur absorb different amounts of liquid depending on variety, check on them periodically, taste and add water as necessary while cooking. The finished dish is equally delicious warm or at room temperature. It is wholesome on its own, but combined with yogurt and served with a chopped salad, bread and olives, it becomes a most satisfying meal.

Steps:
- Make the mujadara: Bring lentils and 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot over high. Reduce heat to low and simmer until lentils are partly cooked, 12 to 18 minutes. Taste a lentil to see if it's tender but still has a bite. The timing depends on the lentil variety: Black and le Puy need the most time; green needs the least. Remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high. Add the onions and cook, stirring regularly, until deep golden brown and starting to crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. It is important to get them to this point because dark onions give mujadara its distinctive dark color and flavor. Onions go from deep brown to burned very quickly, so be sure to remove from the heat before they burn.
- Pour the onions with the oil over the lentils, and stir in the salt and cumin. Add the bulgur, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to lowest setting and simmer, covered, until fully cooked, 10 to 15 minutes. Check on the mujadara periodically: If the bulgur and lentils are not fully cooked but the water has evaporated, add a few tablespoons of water and continue to cook until done. Place a tea towel or paper towels under the lid and let sit for 15 minutes.
- If you are making the optional topping, prepare it while the mujadara rests: Heat about 1 inch vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium to 350 degrees or until a small morsel of bread bubbles and immediately rises to the top. Cut the onion in half and slice through the core to create very thin crescents. Place onions in a medium bowl, sprinkle with the cornstarch and toss to combine. Working in small batches, carefully add to hot oil and fry, stirring occasionally for even browning, until crisp and golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels until dry and crispy, about 2 minutes.
- To serve, transfer mujadara to a serving platter and top with crispy onions, if using.
BULGUR VEGGIE BURGER
This recipe is a modified version from this month's Gourmet Magazine (June 2008). The burgers can be prepared on the grill or in a skillet. If you don't want to use a food processor, you can simply chop the onions finely and mash the beans and walnuts together before mixing in everything else by hand. Uncooked patties can be chilled, covered, up to 4 hours.

- Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Place the bulgur in a large bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1-1/4 cups boiling water. Cover the bowl tightly with saran wrap and let sit for 25-30 minutes, or until all of the water is absorbed.
- Meanwhile, to soften the bite of the raw onions, place them in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Let them sit for ten minutes, and then drain. (Feel free to skip this step if you don't mind the taste of raw onions.) Combine the cooked bulgur with the red onions, remaining teaspoon of salt (I know it seems like a lot but the salad is bland without it) and all of the other ingredients. Season to taste with more salt, pepper, sugar or lemon if desired. Serve cold.
