This fresh-flavored side dish makes a flavorful complement to simple pan-seared lamb chops.

Ingredients

1 cup bulgur wheat
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 small garlic clove
Leaves from 1 large bunch mint (about 2 lightly packed cups)
1 cup lightly packed parsley leaves
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Method

Combine bulgur and boiling water, cover and let sit until water is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, pulse garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Add mint and parsley and pulse just until, the leaves are chopped but not puréed. Scrape the mixture into a large bowl, add the bulgur, peas, zest, juice, oil and salt, and toss until combined. Serve cold or room temperature.
