  • cutting board

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup (80ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) lemon juice

Directions

  1. Combine the olive oil and the lemon juice. Now add the fine bulgur wheat to soak and soften, about 15 minutes. If you are not using fine bulgur wheat you will have to cook it according to the package before soaking.
