Bulgur With Feta And Shrimp

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups medium- or coarse-grind bulgur
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup chopped tomatoes
• 1/2 cup dry white wine or water
• 2 cups water or chicken, beef, or vegetable stock
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces if large
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish

Directions

1. Put the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2. When hot, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens, 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the bulgur and stir until it is glossy and coated with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Stir in the tomatoes and wine and continue stirring for 1 minute.
5. Add the water.
6. Bring the liquid to a boil, then lower the heat so that it bubbles; cover and cook, undisturbed, for 5 minutes.
7. Taste the bulgur.
8. If it seems dry, add 2 more tablespoons water and cook for another minute.
9. When the bulgur is no longer gritty but still chewy, stir in the feta and shrimp, cover again, and cook for 5 minutes.
10. Turn off the heat and let the pan sit for at least 5 and up to 10 minutes.
11. Taste, adjust the seasoning, and fluff the mixture.
12. Serve garnished with the parsley.
