How to Make Fruity Bulgur Wheat

  1. Rinse 1 cup of bulgur wheat in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear.
  2. Place the rinsed bulgur wheat in a medium-sized heatproof bowl. Pour 1 ½ cups of boiling water over the bulgur, ensuring the water level is about ½ inch above the wheat.
  3. Cover the bowl tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and let it stand for 8 minutes.
  4. While the bulgur is steaming, prepare the remaining ingredients: finely chop ½ cup dried apricots, ½ cup dried cranberries, ¼ cup chopped fresh mint, and the zest of 1 lemon.
  5. After 8 minutes, fluff the bulgur with a fork. Gently stir in the chopped apricots, cranberries, mint, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness if desired.
  7. Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!
