سلطة الطماطم مع البرغل المقرمش بالتوابل
African 20 Mins Prep · 30 Mins Cook
- Place the coriander seeds, caraway seeds, fennel seeds, black peppercorns and cumin seeds together in a large cast-iron pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant. Add in the remaining spices and toast for 1 minute, tossing frequently. Cool completely before grinding to a powder using a pestle and mortar or spice grinder.
- Cook the bulgar wheat according to package instructions.
- Add the tabil spice mix to the water as it cooks. Evenly spread the bulgar wheat over a tray and place in the fridge to ‘dry’ out for 1 hour. When ready to fry, remove from the fridge.
- Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a large cast-iron pan placed over a medium-high heat. Fry the bulgar wheat (in batches, if necessary) until golden and crispy. Place on a serving platter and grate lemon zest over.
- Peel and finely slice the red onion and place in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes. Roughly chop the tomatoes and place in a large bowl. Roughly chop the herbs and place in the bowl along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, vinegar, salt and sugar. Drain the onions and add to the bowl and toss to combine. Set aside at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving.
- When ready to serve, place the tomato salad on a platter, top with the crispy bulgar, extra herbs and tabil spice.
