Ingredients
- ¼ cup neutral oil like grapeseed, sunflower or canola
- ¼ cup thin vermicelli noodles
- 2 cups bulgur wheat
- ½ teaspoon salt
- water to cover (~2 ¼ cups)
- 1 - 15 oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
For the fried onions:
- 4 medium onions, sliced
- ½ cup neutral oil like grapeseed, sunflower or canola
- Pinch of salt
Preparation
Step 1
In a medium pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the noodles and sauté, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add the bulgur and salt and cover with water by ½ an inch. Cook covered over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes until bulgur is tender. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes covered.
Step 3
Meanwhile, add the onions and oil to a cold medium sized pan and sauté over high heat for 20 minutes until the onions are softened and golden brown. For a more charred onion, let the onions continue to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are dark and start to get crispy.
Step 4
Top the bulgur with the fried onions and chickpeas and serve at room temperature with cucumber mint yogurt and salad.
