Bulgur & Hominy Salad

Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 2 cups regular-strength chicken broth
  • 2 cans (14 oz each) golden hominy drained
  • 1 tbsp. mustard seed
  • 1/4 cup lightly packed minced parsley
  • 1 tsp. dry thyme leaves
  • Salt
  • 1/2 tsp. fennel seed
  • Napa cabbage leaves rinsed and drained (optional)
  • 1 cup #3 coarse bulgur
  • 1/2 to 1 cup thinly sliced red radishes
  • 1/4 cup sherry vinegar
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups stemmed and rinsed seedless green grapes
  • 1 tbsp. rinsed and drained green peppercorns

Instructions

  • In a 1 to 1 1/2 quart pan, bring chicken broth to boil with mustard seed, thyme leaves, and fennel seed. Stir in bulgur, vinegar, and green peppercorns. Cover pan; remove from heat, and let mixture stand until bulgur is tender to bite--about 30 minutes. Pour the seasoned bulgur into a bowl and mix with hominy; cover and chill. Mix salad with parsley; season to taste with salt. Mound onto a platter or in bowl lined with cabbage leaves; top with radishes and grapes.
