| 1 to 1/4 cup water | 1/2 cup chopped carrots | |
| 1 cup coarse bulgur (available in bulk from natural foods stores) | 3/4 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed | |
| 1 teaspoon dried parsley | 2 tablespoons oil, for dressing | |
| 1 teaspoon minced onion | 2 tablespoons lemon juice, for dressing | |
| 1 teaspoon soy sauce | 1 tablespoon soy sauce, for dressing | |
| 1/2 cup chopped scallions | 1 garlic clove, minced, for dressing | |
| 1/2 cup raisins | Add black pepper to taste, for dressing |
Bring water to boil in medium saucepan, then stir in bulgur, parsley, minced onion, and soy sauce. Cover this mix and reduce heat. Simmer for 15-20 minutes (until all water is absorbed and bulgur is not too crunchy).
Remove the mix from heat and allow it to cool; fluff with fork.
Combine dressing ingredients in a separate dish and stir well. Pour over bulgur mixture and mix well.
Stir in scallions, raisins, carrots, and chickpeas, then cover and chill in the fridge for several hours prior to serving.
