Preparation

1. Cover bulgur with hot water and allow to stand for 30 minutes. Drain thoroughly, squeezing out additional water with hands.
2. Cook the fresh peas in boiling water for 1 minute and drain. Or defrost frozen peas but do not cook.
3. Combine peas with bulgur and remaining ingredients except for yogurt. Then stir in yogurt to coat thoroughly.

• Use the coarse bulgur, not the cracked, sometimes called cracked wheat, which has a finer grain. For added fiber (plus calories and fat), 1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds may be added.
