HERBED BULGUR WITH SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a three-quart casserole, heat the oil. Add garlic and cook for a minute or so, until the garlic is soft but not brown. Add bulgur and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the bulgur is lightly toasted and coated with oil, about five minutes.
• Drain the tomatoes, crushing them lightly and reserving the liquid. Set the tomatoes aside and add enough chicken stock or water to the liquid to make three cups. Add this liquid to the bulgur along with the oregano, basil, marjoram and fennel seeds. Season to taste with salt. Mix well.
• Cover tightly and place over low heat for about 40 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and bulgur is tender.
• While the bulgur is cooking, slice the sausages. If some of it crumbles, that is all right. Place the sausage in a heavy skillet and cook over medium heat until lightly brown. Remove sausage from pan.
• Add onions and peppers to the pan and saute over medium heat until lightly browned. Return the sausage to the pan along with the tomatoes and cook just long enough to heat through.
• When the bulgur is tender, lightly mix it to fluff it. Spread the sausage, onions and tomato mixture over the bulgur in the casserole, sprinkle with parsley, cover and place over medium heat for five to 10 minutes until heated through.
• Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.

• Place the bulgur in a 2-quart bowl. Place a strainer over the bowl, and drain the chickpeas so that the hot broth covers the bulgur. Set the chickpeas aside. Cover the bowl, and allow the bulgur to sit until fluffy, about 20 to 30 minutes. Strain and press out excess liquid.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet, and add the scallions. Cook, stirring, until tender, two or three minutes. Stir in the garlic, and continue to cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Stir in the bulgur and chickpeas. Add the herbs and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and toss together.

TOMATOES STUFFED WITH BULGUR AND HERBS

Steps:

• Place the bulgur in a bowl and add 1/4 teaspon salt. Mix together. Bring 1 cup water to a boil, and pour over the bulgur. Allow to sit for 30 minutes or until the bulgur is soft and fluffy. Transfer to a strainer and press out excess water. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice off the tops of the tomatoes, about 3/4 inch down from the stem (or far enough down that it will be easy for you to hollow them out). Using a teaspoon or a grapefruit spoon, carefully scoop out the seeds, taking care not to cut through the skins. Place in a strainer set above a bowl. Rub the seed pods against the strainer to extract the juice. Discard the seeds. Carefully scoop out the pulp, and chop fine.
• Mix together the bulgur, herbs, garlic, pine nuts, the chopped tomato pulp, 1/4 cup of the strained juice and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Season the hollowed out tomatoes with salt and pepper. Fill each tomato with the bulgur filling (you may have some stuffing left over). Place in a baking dish that is small enough to fit the tomatoes snugly. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over each one, and place the caps on top. Pour about 1/2 inch of water into the pan, and cover with foil. Bake 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and uncover. Serve warm, or allow to cool to room temperature.
• Puree the garlic with a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle. Stir into the yogurt, along with the mint. Serve the stuffed tomatoes with a dollop of the yogurt.
