How to Make Spiced Bulgur Salad
- Toast the 1 cup bulgur wheat in a medium frypan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it is turning golden and it starts to pop slightly.
- Pour the toasted bulgur into a heatproof bowl, add 1 1/2 cups boiling water, cover, and let stand for 10-15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same frypan over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom; 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice; and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger to the frypan.
- Cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, until the onion is translucent and softened.
- Add the cooked onions, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper, 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas (rinsed and drained), 1/2 cup sultanas, and 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts to the cooked bulgur.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of the chopped fresh herbs (parsley and mint). Season generously with salt and pepper to taste, and gently fold everything together.
- Garnish with the remaining fresh herbs and serve warm or at room temperature.
