Number Of Ingredients 21

4 cups boiling water
1 cube vegetable bouillon
1 cup dry lentils
1 cup bulgur
2 cups boiling water
1 cup minced fresh parsley
½ cup minced sweet onion
¼ cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
⅛ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup thinly sliced scallions

Steps:

  • Combine 4 cups boiling water and bouillon cube in a saucepan until dissolved; add lentils and cook over medium heat until lentils are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain excess water.
  • Put bulgur in a heat-proof bowl; pour in 2 cups boiling water. Let mixture stand until bulgur has absorbed most of the water and is tender, about 10 minutes. Drain excess water.
  • Combine lentils, bulgur, onion, and parsley in a large bowl.
  • Mix chicken broth, red wine vinegar, cider vinegar, mustard, olive oil, garlic, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, basil, cumin, salt, hot sauce, and black pepper in a jar. Cover jar with tight-fitting lid and shake until dressing is well-mixed. Pour dressing over lentil mixture and mix well; top with scallions.
