Mediterranean Cracked Wheat Salad Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN CRACKED WHEAT SALAD

This is a recipe I found while looking for a good Tabbouleh recipe. I'm always altering it by adding sun dried tomatoes, using different olives etc and it always comes out fantastic. The original recipe calls for water but I prefer vegetable or chicken stock. (Cooking time includes time to heat broth and roast pepper).

Steps:

Soak bulgur in cold water to cover, for an hour or so.
Squeeze out the water with hands and mix with other ingredients except oil, lemon juice and salt.
Mix with olive oil, lemon juice and salt, using proportions agreeable to your taste.
It is important that vegetables be minced very fine.
Serve in a bowl or dish surrounded with Romaine leaves or fresh tender grape leaves.
The leaves are used to scoop up the salad.
Prepare the mixture early enough so flavors blend.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups fine bulgur
1 bunch fresh parsley, minced fine
1 bunch scallion, minced fine
4 tomatoes, skinned and peeled, if desired chopped fine
1 bunch of fresh mint or 2 teaspoons dried mint
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)
1/3 cup olive oil (pure or substitute)
1/3 cup lemon juice
salt

FREEKEH, CHICKPEA AND HERB SALAD

There is a lot to love about freekeh, an earthy grain that I'd like to see catch on in more kitchens. It cooks up in about 25 minutes, and it's light, like coarse bulgur, which it resembles, except that the color is darker and greener. But freekeh has a more complex flavor than bulgur. What stands out is its smokiness, a result of the production process, in which durum wheat - the type used for many pastas - is harvested while still green and soft, and carefully roasted in the husk over open fires. The wheat is beaten to remove the chaff, and in the Middle East it is sold whole or cracked. The cracked version is what you're more likely to find here in the United States, and happily it's become easy to do so. Look on the shelves of Middle Eastern markets, at whole-food markets or online. Cracked freekeh is tastier and easier to work with than whole freekeh. Add it to soups or stews, or use in the same way you would use rice or bulgur. The cracked wheat has a grassy, herbal quality that also makes it great for use in lemony salads like this one, in which the freekeh is tossed with chickpeas, scallions and a welcome dash of bright green in the form of fresh mint and parsley.

Freekeh, Chickpea and Herb Salad image

Steps:

Heat a medium-size heavy saucepan over medium-high heat and add freekeh. Toast in the dry pan, shaking pan or stirring, until freekeh becomes fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 cups water and salt and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes or until water has been absorbed. Turn off heat and uncover. Place a clean dish towel over the pot and return lid. Let sit at least 10 minutes. Uncover and allow freekeh to cool another 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine freekeh, chopped herbs, celery, scallions and chickpeas and toss together. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, cumin, garlic, salt and olive oil; toss with salad. Taste and add more lemon juice if desired. Serve right away or let sit for up to 1 hour before serving.

In a medium saucepan (I use a 3 1/2 quart) whisk together two tablespoons of the red pepper paste and 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste with 1 cup of the boiling water until the mixture is smooth. Put the pan on the stove and add the rinsed cracked wheat, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining two cups of boiling water to the paste/water mixture. Stir the mixture together, turn the heat on the stove, high enough to bring the water in the mixture back to a boil then turn off the heat and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let this sit for 12-15 minutes until the liquid has been completely absorbed.
While waiting for the cracked wheat to soften, heat about two tablespoons olive oil in a small saucepan. Add the diced onions and red bell pepper and cook for one minute. Season with a pinch of salt then add the ground cumin, paprika and the remaining 1 tablespoon red pepper paste and 1/2 tablespoon tomato paste. Add another tablespoon of olive oil if you like. Stir the spices and pastes into the vegetables and cook for just another minute or two, until the pastes and spices have heated up. Take this mixture off the heat.
Once the cracked wheat has softened (all the liquid should have been absorbed), fluff it with a fork and transfer to a large bowl. Add the cooked onion and red pepper mixture and stir together.
Add the chopped parsley, mint, scallions, lemon juice, four tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon of pomegranate molasses, if using. Feel free to to add more salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, pomegranate molasses and lemon juice to suit your taste. Toss and serve. This is great at chilled or at room temperature. It keeps for several days and tastes better as it sits.
