Bulgur

Rosemary, chives and parsley enhance this delicious combination.

Who knew bulgur could be such a great substitute for rice in risotto? And without all that stirring. No, bulgur won’t replace Arborio rice anytime soon—but you’ll be surprised at how good it can be.

For the fastest grain bowl, use bulgur—which steams in just 10 minutes—as the base for sheet-pan chicken thighs and roasted broccolini.

This is the love child of a grain bowl and arugula salad—with charred scallions, avocado, and thinly sliced jalapeño for smokiness, richness, and heat.

A simple meal of crispy-skinned salmon and fast-cooking bulgur gets a special boost thanks to a creamy mustard dressing.

The key to tabbouleh, a bright, herby salad from the Levant, is to use a very sharp knife so that you can slice through the parsley and mint just once.

In this dish from southeastern Turkey, chewy, nutty bulgur meets sour-sweet pomegranate molasses meets spicy Aleppo-style pepper meets crunchy-cool lettuce cups.

This bean salad is taken to new, luxurious levels with the addition of eggs, anchovies, and your favorite summer squash.
