- 1 large shallot, chopped fine
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon tarragon white-wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup bulgur
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup walnuts, toasted lightly and chopped
- In a small bowl stir together shallot, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and vinegar and let mixture stand while cooking bulgur.
- In a small heavy saucepan bring water with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil. Stir in bulgur and cook, covered, over low heat 10 to 12 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Transfer bulgur to a large bowl and cool completely, stirring occasionally with a fork to break up lumps. Stir in shallot mixture, tarragon, oil, walnuts, and salt and pepper to taste.
