Best Eech Armenian Bulgur Side Dish Recipes
ARMENIAN BULGUR SALAD (ITCH OR EECH)
This Armenian Bulgur Salad, called Itch or Eech, is so similar to tabbouleh, but with much less parsley and much less chopping. It's such an easy, delicious fresh grain salad, filling enough for lunch or perfect as a side dish with dinner.

Steps:
- In a large sauté pan over medium high heat, warm the olive oil then cook the onions and green pepper just until the onion begins to soften, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for just one minute. Add the chopped tomatoes, salt, pepper and cayenne and cook covered for 10 minutes. Add the water and bulgur. Stir to coat the bulgur. Cover and cook on low heat for 10 more minutes. Remove from the heat, stir and cover for an additional 10 minutes.
- Allow to cool to room temperature. Stir in the lemon juice before refrigerating.
- Top with green onion, fresh parsley and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil before serving.
EECH (ARMENIAN BULGUR SIDE DISH)
A tangy, savory Armenian side dish that can be served warm, room temperature or cold. I first tried it at St. Mary's Armenian Church in Florida at their food fest and became instantly hooked. It is a mixture of bulgur (cracked wheat), onions, tomatoes, peppers and parsley.
