Here's a recipe from "Spicy Fat-Free Cooking Secrets" by Gita
Chandra.
Tabbouleh - 2 servings
1/2 cup bulghur wheat
1 1/3 cups boiling water
2 Tbs. finely sliced scallions
2 Tbs. finely diced cucumber
2 Tbs. finely chopped parsley
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh tomatoes
1/4 cup lime juice
salt and pepper to taste
In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the bulghur and hot water and microwave on
high for 5 minutes. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes. Alternatively,
bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Stir
in bulghur and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Turn off heat and let sit covered for 40 minutes. Drain.
In a large bowl, combine the scallion, cucumber, parsley, tomatoes, lime
juice, salt and pepper. Add the bulghur and mix well. Adjust seasoning to
taste. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
