Bulgur With Onion Tomato And Feta Recipes

BULGUR WITH HONEYDEW AND FETA

Steps:

• Bring 1 cup salted water to a simmer. Remove from the heat and add 1/2 cup bulgur; cover and let sit 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then let cool. Toss with 4 diced Persian cucumbers, 2 cups diced honeydew melon, 1/2 thinly sliced small red onion, 1 cup crumbled feta, 1/4 cup each chopped fresh mint and dill, 1/3 cup olive oil and 3 tablespoons lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

BAKED TOMATOES STUFFED WITH BULGUR, FETA AND RAISINS

Steps:

• Place the bulgur in a large bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Let stand for 1 hour. Drain well. Meanwhile, slice the top 1/4 inch off of the tomatoes. Scoop out the center of the tomatoes, being careful not to tear the shells; reserve the insides for another use. Place the tomatoes, tops and bottoms, on a layer of paper towels, cut side down. Let stand for 30 minutes. Pat the inside of the tomatoes dry.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add the onion, feta, raisins, parsley and mint to the bulgur and stir to combine. Mix in the olive oil, salt and pepper. Spray a baking sheet lightly with the olive oil. Spoon the filling into the tomato shells, top with the lids and place on the baking sheet.
• Bake just until the tomatoes are tender and the filling is hot, about 20 minutes; do not let the tomatoes get too soft. Divide among plates and serve immediately.
