Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup medium-grind bulgur*
2 1/2 cups boiling water
1 1/2 pounds broccoli rabe (rapini; 1 very large bunch), bottom 1 inch of stems trimmed
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large shallots, minced (about 2/3 cup)
2/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Place bulgur in medium bowl; pour 2 1/2 cups boiling water over. Stir once and let stand until just tender, about 20 minutes. Pour bulgur into fine strainer set over bowl. Reserve soaking liquid.
  • Cook broccoli rabe in boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to bowl of ice water and cool. Drain; cut into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots; sauté until soft, about 2 minutes. Add walnuts; sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add broccoli rabe and bulgur; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until heated, about 3 minutes. If dry, add reserved bulgur soaking liquid by tablespoonfuls. Stir in lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Toss in half of Parmesan. Pass remaining cheese separately.
  • *Also called cracked wheat; available at supermarkets and natural foods stores.

This recipe was a bit of a disappointment. The broccoli rabe was overcooked and the bulgur was bland.

I thought this recipe was okay. The broccoli rabe was a bit tough and the bulgur was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too bitter for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a big fan of broccoli rabe. The bulgur and walnuts were good, though.

This dish was delicious and easy to make. I used brown bulgur instead of white, and it turned out great. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The broccoli rabe was cooked perfectly and had a slightly bitter flavor that paired well with the sweetness of the bulgur and the crunch of the walnuts. I would definitely make this again.
