Ripe Plum Tabbouleh

Adapted from here.
Servings 4 servings
Author Brandon Matzek

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fine bulgur
  • Boiling water
  • 6 scallions, trimmed of root and tougher green ends, finely sliced
  • 6 ripe plums, halved, pitted and coarsely chopped
  • 1 fresno chile (or other hot red chile), seeded and finely chopped
  • 8 bushy mint sprigs, coarsely chopped
  • 8 bushy Italian parsley sprigs, coarsely chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Place bulgar in a bowl. Add boiling water until the bulgur is just covered, then set aside for 15 minutes.
  • To a large bowl, add scallions, ripe plums, fresno chile, mint, parsley, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with a generous pinch of salt and several turns of black pepper.
  • Fluff bulgar up with a fork. If you notice any water remaining at the bottom of the bowl, drain. Add bulgur to the bowl with the plum-herb mixture, crumbling up any large pieces. Gently toss to combine. Add additional olive oil, kosher salt and black pepper to taste (I like a moist tabbouleh, so I drizzled in a bit more olive oil at this point).
