BULGUR AND LENTIL SALAD

Steps:
- Combine the lentils, onion, garlic and bay leaf in a saucepan, and add 2 to 3 cups water, enough to cover by an inch or two. Bring to a gentle boil, add salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 25 minutes until tender but intact. Remove from the heat. Remove and discard the onion, garlic cloves and bay leaf. Drain.
- Meanwhile, place the bulgur in a medium bowl, and add salt to taste. Cover with 2 cups hot or boiling water, and allow to sit for 20 to 25 minutes until most of the water is absorbed. Drain through a strainer and squeeze out the water.
- Combine the lentils, bulgur, scallions, radishes, parsley and mint in a large bowl or salad bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper to taste, and the olive oil. Toss with the salad, and serve.

Steps:
- If time allows soak lentils in cold water to cover an hour or more. Drain. Soak onion in salted water to cover until ready to serve.
- Put 1 tablespoon oil in a large deep saucepan, and turn heat to medium. A minute later add garlic and cook until fragrant, another minute or so. Add tomato, cayenne and cumin and cook until tomato is soft, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add bulgur and cook, stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, then add liquid and lentils. Bring to a boil, then cover, and adjust heat so mixture simmers steadily. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes or until lentils and bulgur are tender and all liquid is absorbed. If mixture starts to dry out, add liquid as needed and continue cooking. You will definitely need to add liquid if you did not soak the lentils. If mixture is too wet, raise heat a bit and cook uncovered, stirring, until it dries out.
- Toss herbs and lettuce with remaining olive oil and lemon juice to taste; add salt and pepper to taste. Serve lentil-bulgur mixture topped with dressed greens, drained onions and a dollop of yogurt on the side.
