   Cover bulghur with boiling water.  Cover, let sit
   about 30 minutes till all the water is gone.

   garlic, lemon juice and olive oil.  Add 2-3 large
   tomatoes and garbanzos.  Top with 1/4 C feta.
   
   Vicki's notes:
   
   *  Bulghur is cracked wheat.  You can find it at
   health-food stores. You can also find it in some
   grocery stores by other grains and pasta.
   
   *  Can substitute scallions for some of the green
   onions.  Some people like to use mint instead of (or
   in addition to) the parsley. If you use mint, might
   want to add chopped cucumber instead of tomato. Can
   also add sliced avocado.
   
   *  Some recipes call for soaking bulghur in more water
   and wringing it out, but this leaves too much water!
