🍷Sommelier's Recommendation
Crisp acidity complements lemon and herbs.
Bright citrus and minerality enhance freshness.
Steps:
- Weigh bulgur and water at a 1:1 ratio. Vacuum seal with a pinch of salt and allow to hydrate for 30�40 minutes.
- Clarify the lemon juice by blending briefly and passing through a fine chinois or superbag.
- Blanch a small portion of parsley for 10 seconds, shock in ice, then blend with olive oil until vibrant green.
- Finely chiffonade parsley and mint, then cross-cut gently.
- Deseed tomatoes completely and dice into uniform small cubes.
- Rinse sliced shallots briefly in cold water and dry.
- Combine bulgur, herbs, tomatoes, shallots, and scallions gently by hand.
- Add clarified lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Mix lightly.
- Fold in olive oil gently until evenly coated.
- Optional: briefly place mixture under light vacuum to integrate flavors.
- Plate using a ring mold to form a tight cylinder. Finish with herb oil, mint tips, and pomegranate seeds.
