Dilly bulghur salad with fennel and leek
Delight in the fresh taste of dill-infused bulgur salad with crisp fennel and fragrant leek. A culinary masterpiece bursting with flavors.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 bulb of fennel, cut into 1/4 inch thick matchsticks
- 2 leeks, halved and cut into 1/4 inch strips
- 1 cup fine bulghur
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta
- 1/3 cup finely chopped dill
Instructions:
- Heat the butter in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Cook the onion until it becomes soft and see-through, which should take around 5 minutes. After that, add the fennel and leeks. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook until the leek and fennel pieces just start turning brown, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
- Incorporate the bulghur into the pan and mix it well. Pour in the water, stir to mix everything, cover the pan, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it cook for roughly 10 minutes until the water is fully absorbed. Remember to stir a few times during the cooking process and scrape off any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Once ready, remove the pan from the heat and blend in the dill and fennel. You can serve this dish either warm or at room temperature.
