Tomato and Corn Tabbouleh Salad
- 1 cup bulghur wheat
- 3 cups boiling water
- 6 ears corn
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons coarse salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
- 2 garlic cloves, or to taste, minced
- Juice of 4 limes
- 4 large ripe tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh chives, cut into small pieces
- In a bowl, cover the bulghur with the boiling water.
- Let stand 45 minutes.
- Drain well; return to a bowl.
- Set aside.
- Place the corn on a cutting board, and, using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels from the cob, taking care the corn does not roll as you work.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat.
- Add one-third of the corn, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the corn is caramelized and golden, about 7 minutes.
- One minute before the corn is done, add one-third of the minced garlic, and mix with the corn.
- Transfer the corn to a baking pan to cool.
- When the corn is finished, deglaze the pan with a little lime juice; stir, using a wooden spoon, to loosen any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
- Add to the corn.
- Repeat with the remaining corn 2 more times.
- Set aside for the corn to cool.
- Combine the bulghur with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, tomatoes, remaining lime juice, mint, parsley, and chives.
- Add the corn; mix well.
- Chill 30 minutes before serving.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
