1 1/2 c boiling water
1 tsp salt
1/4 c (generous) fresh lemon juice
1 tsp (generous) crushed garlic
pinch (or so) of cinnamon
Combine bulghar wheat, boiling water and salt in a bowl. Cover and let stand for 15-20 minutes.
Add lemon, garlic, salt and cinnamon, stir thoroughly and refrigerate 2-3 (or more) hours.
Before serving add,
2 diced tomatoes

2-3 tbsp fresh mint, chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried)

I like to eat this with hummus and pita bread.
Enjoy.
