When markets brim with the red, yellow and pink hues of cherry, beefsteak and heirloom tomatoes, here’s how to welcome them back into your kitchen.
Ingredients
2 cups water
1 cup bulgur
1 tsp salt, divided
5 tbsp lemon juice
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp sumac, plus more for garnish
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small zucchini, grated
1 cup chopped mint
1 cup chopped parsley
3 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
BRING 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add bulgur and 1/2 tsp of the salt. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until tender, about 15 min. Let stand for 5 min, then spread on a baking sheet with a fork to cool quickly, about 10 min.
WHISK lemon juice, oil, garlic, sumac, remaining 1/2 tsp salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in chickpeas, tomatoes, zucchini, mint, parsley and green onions until combined.
STIR in bulgur and serve sprinkled with more sumac.
