Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. For coarse bulgur: Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the bulgur and salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat, and allow to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes.
  2. For medium bulgur: Place the bulgur in a bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pour on 2 cups hot or boiling water. Allow to sit for 20 to 25 minutes, until most of the water is absorbed. Drain and squeeze out the water.
  3. Meanwhile, mix together the lemon juice and cinnamon, and salt to taste. Whisk in the olive oil. Toss with the bulgur in a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, toss together, taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with small leaves from the heart of a romaine lettuce. Use the leaves as scoops.
