This recipe takes the Middle Eastern side dish and transforms it into a hunger-squashing main meal. This Greek side dish is a great source of vitamin K and omega-3s and with 24 grams of protein and six grams of fiber, it will shut up a rumbling stomach for hours.
Ingredients:
2/3 c medium-grind bulgur (next to the rice in most supermarkets)
1 2/3 c water
1/3 c fresh lemon juice
12 oz precooked peeled or thawed frozen shrimp, coarsely chopped
3/8 tsp black pepper
1 c diced cucumber
1 pint grape tomatoes
1/2 c chopped red onion
1/2 c chopped parsley
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 c (2 oz) crumbled feta cheese
1/4 tsp salt
Directions:
In a saucepan, combine bulgur, water, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice; bring to a boil.

This is a slight variation on a recipe by Ina Garten, from her book, Barefoot Contassa Family Style. The mint leaves really add a blast of surprising freshness. I don't always make it with chicken though, but either way it is a delicious main-dish salad.

I love Mediterranean food. And I love how you can go to so many different restaurants with so many different national affiliations and still get certain classics.
