http://schneiderchen.de | © 2011 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




A simple and delicious bulgur salad, adapted from Eat Smarter, with coriander honey carrots giving it a hint of well-balanced earthy pungency and lingering sweetness.

  • 250 ml Fresh tomato juice
  • 100 g Wholegrain bulgur
  • 400 g Carrots
  • 1 tsp Coriander seeds
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 1 Yellow bell pepper
  • 1 handful Chives, cut into rings
  • 1 tbsp Olive herb needles, optional
  • 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
  • Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
  • 1 tsp Lime juice
  1. Bring tomato juice in a pot to a boil. Turn the heat off. Pour bulgur into the tomato juice. Cover and set aside until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile rinse, peel and cut the carrots horizontally into 4 sticks. Crush the coriander seeds in a a mortar and pestle.
  3. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add in carrot sticks and cook briefly. Add in crushed coriander seeds, salt and pepper. Pour in 4-5 tablespoons of water and cook, covered, for 5 minutes over medium heat. Add in honey and bring the mixture to a boil. Remove and set aside to cool.
  4. Peel, core, seed and finely dice the yellow bell pepper. Place them in a salad bowl together with chopped chives, olive herb needles if used, minced garlic, coriander leaves, lime juice, bulgur and the rest of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together. Serve the bulgur salad with coriander carrot sticks.

Great, I've been looking for ways with bulgur. Love the idea of tomato juice to puff up the bulgur.

I love the texture of bulgur but rarely cook it; thanks for the reminder. What is olive herb?

[Reply]
Sam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchen 9/7/12 12:51

What a beautiful twist to a bulgur salad. The carrots give it such a gorgeous color and I know must bring a lot of flavor and crunch.

@Eva Taylor

Olive Herb is a cold hardy, perennial, woody, and the bright green leaves that have an intense olive aroma. It adds an interesting, alternative flavour to salads and is a tasty addition to Mediterranean meals, especially when you don’t have any fresh olives to hand.

Gorgeous salad, and love how light and healthy it is too, although I would use quinoa in place of the bulgur to make it gluten-free for me. Curious about olive herb needles....I've never heard of those!

Wow. I read the title over and over, and every time I would read "burglar" and I thought it was a funny name, what's a burglar salad. I guess it was because I was so unfamiliar with the word "bulgur"
Regardless, this looks mouthwatering!
