Preparation

1. Place the bulgur in a bowl, mix with the water and allow to soak 15 to 20 minutes, until softened.
2. While the bulgur soaks, place the onion and dill in a food processor and process until chopped fine.
3. Add the cucumbers to the food processor and process about 30 seconds to produce a thick puree. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the yogurt.
4. Drain the bulgur well, pressing out any excess liquid. Add the bulgur to the cucumber mixture and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Stir before serving and garnish each serving with a sprig of dill.

• Bulgur comes in several textures, and it is essential to use the fine-textured kind in this recipe. Omit if it is not available.
