GRILLED CHICKEN WITH BULGUR

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Coat the chicken legs with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then sprinkle all over with the cinnamon, ginger, cayenne and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Transfer to the grill, skin-side up; cover and cook 12 minutes. Flip the chicken, cover and continue cooking until the skin is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees F, 10 to 15 more minutes. Grill the grapes, covered but turning occasionally, until slightly charred, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine 1 1/2 cups water, the butter, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Add the bulgur, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, covered, until tender, about 15 minutes. (Drain any excess water, if necessary.)
• Fluff the bulgur with a fork and stir in the grilled grapes, discarding the stems. Stir in the scallions, parsley and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt. Serve with the chicken.

OLIVE & LEMON CHICKEN WITH BULGUR WHEAT

Steps:

• 1. Set the lemon zest aside for later use. In a bowl big enough to hold the chicken, whisk together lemon juice, ginger, coriander, cumin, nutmeg, salt (if using) and pepper.
• 2. Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes and toss in the lemon and spice marinade to coat thoroughly. Allow to rest 10 minutes.
• 3. In a large saute pan with cover, heat the olive oil on medium-high until shimmering. Drain away the excess marinade saute the chicken in the olive oil 5 to 6 minutes, turning to cook on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside, leaving any remaining oil in the pan. The chicken will cook more with the bulgur wheat so it need not be thoroughly cooked at this point.
• 4. In another container, heat the chicken broth or stock to boiling. This is most easily done in a pyrex measuring cup in the microwave.
• 5. Briefly saute the celery (and/or onion) and garlic in the remaining olive oil. Add the olive and the bulgur and stir to coat. Allow the bulgur to toast for about 2 minutes.
• 6. Add the chicken cubes, chicken stock and lemon zest. Stir to mix. Cover and turn heat to medium low. Allow to simmer 5 minutes.
• 7. Put the spinach on top of the now-swelling bulgur mixture, cover, and continue to simmer another 5 minutes.
• 8. Stir in the spinach, cover, and simmer a final 5 minutes for a total of 15 minutes simmering. Test the bulgur for doneness. It should be al dente yet tender.
• 9. Serve hot.
