There’s nothing very exciting about bulgur on its own. Whole wheat grain that doesn’t require much cooking to prepare is about as thrilling as it sounds. Before you go to sleep, however, give it a whirl with some eye-opening additions, such as preserved lemon, garlic shrimp and a big handful of fresh cilantro, and you’ve got a suddenly exciting dish that is ample enough to stand on its own as an entree.
This is basically just some bulgur soaked in boiling water and left alone for half an hour or so, then mixed with some shrimp saut̩ed in garlic and butter, a healthy pour of olive oil, a small preserved lemon finely chopped (or half of a large one), and some chopped avocado. A good handful of freshly-chopped cilantro is the final touch for this bright meal Рperfect for spring and summer because of its minimal cooking time. Be generous with the salt and pepper too Рthe bulgur wants it.
