Eggs “en Cocotte”
Greek Salad with Bulgur Wheat
| By : |
This dish is my combination of Middle Eastern tabbouleh and Greek salad. It’s got more bulgur than a traditional tabbouleh, but keeps the same bold use of parsley and mint. Cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese come from the Greek side of the table. Together, the flavors and textures make a great light lunch dish. Campari tomatoes are small hothouse-grown tomatoes. They have an intense tomato flavor year-round and the small size makes them ideal when you’re cooking for two.

Instructions
- Pour the bulgur into the inner pot. Add the water and kosher salt. Lock the lid into place. Select Pressure Cook or Manual, and adjust the pressure to High and the time to 0 minutes. After cooking, let the pressure release naturally for 2 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
- Unlock the lid. Remove the pot from the base. Fluff the bulgur with a fork and let it cool for a few minutes. Transfer it to a medium bowl.
- Add the cucumber, tomatoes, scallion, and olives, and toss to combine. Drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice. Add the feta cheese, mint, and parsley, and toss gently. Adjust the seasoning, adding salt or pepper as needed.

Would love to try this but how can you pressure cook the wheat at 0 minutes??
0 minutes for the pressure cook time?!
As the pressure cooker is coming up to pressure the heated can cook some food items. That is why wheat can be cooked in the time it takes to pressurize and that is why the pressure cooking time is zero.
Yes. We have many recipes that call for 0 minute cooking time.
Cannot pressure cook (rice) at 0 time. I have 9 in 1 Instapot. I set on 1 minute and it is perfect. Why can’t I set to 0. When I do it defaults to 8 hours. Why ???
