BEET GREENS BULGUR WITH CARROTS AND TOMATOES



Beet Greens Bulgur With Carrots and Tomatoes image

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.

Time 1h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 generous bunches beet greens (1 to 1 1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large or 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut in small dice (1 to 1 1/2 cups)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 14.5-ounce can chopped tomatoes, or 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
1 cup coarse bulgur
2 cups water
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
Juice of 1 to 2 lemons

Steps:

  • Stem beet greens (discard stems), wash greens well in 2 changes of water, and coarsely chop. You should have about 6 cups chopped greens.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a deep, lidded skillet or a wide, lidded saucepan. Add onion and carrots and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add beet greens and cook, stirring, until they are coated with oil and wilted, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add paprika and tomatoes and cook, stirring often, for another 5 minutes, until tomatoes have begun to cook down and soften a bit. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Add bulgur and stir to coat with tomato mixture. Add water, more salt to taste, parsley and dill and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 20 to 25 minutes until water has been absorbed.
  • Remove from heat, uncover and quickly stir in lemon juice. Place a towel across the top of the pan. Return lid and let sit for 10 minutes. Serve hot, with the remaining olive oil drizzled over the top.

Categories     Salads

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 as a side dish (2 to 3 as a main course)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup bulgur
1½ teaspoons salt, divided
⅓ cup diced red onion
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup fresh lemon juice, from 2 lemons
1 large garlic clove, finely minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 small English (or hothouse) cucumber, seeded and diced
½ cup finely chopped fresh dill
⅓ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Place the bulgur in a large bowl with ½ teaspoon salt and 1¼ cups boiling water. Cover the bowl tightly with saran wrap and let sit for 15-30 minutes, or until all of the water is absorbed. Let cool, then fluff with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, to soften the bite of the raw onions, place them in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Let sit for ten minutes, and then drain. (Feel free to skip this step if you don't mind the strong taste of raw onions.)
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, sugar, pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Add the cooled bulgur, onion, bell pepper, cucumber, dill, parsley, and chick peas. Toss well, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Chill until ready to serve or up to two days. Serve cold or room temperature.

Tips:

  • Season the bulgur salad with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
