This Armenian salad, known as eetch, is reminiscent of tabbouleh but because it’s grain-centric rather than herb-focused, it’s heartier and more substantial. Instead of soaking the bulgur in water—as is done for tabbouleh—the bulgur is hydrated in a mixture of tomato paste and water, so the grains take on a red-orange hue. If you want to make the salad more tart and tangy, mix in a splash of lemon juice. For a more substantial meal, add blanched green beans and crumbled feta cheese.

Tip

Don't use fine or medium bulgur. These varieties have different liquid-absorption rates than coarse bulgur, the type called for in this recipe. They also don't have the same hearty chew.

Flavor Bomb!
Loved how the ingredients came together for one of the best (and easiest) things I've made from Milk Street: tomatoey, citrusy, nutty, minty, and savory. Will definitely make again.

So flavorful!
This was delicious! Hot from the stove, warm and then again cold as leftovers. Highly recommend!

Amazing flavor and texture!
I made a recipe-and-a-half and should have doubled it! If you do, be prepared for a longer cook time but this recipe is easy and forgiving. Eetch will definitely be added to the weekday rotation!!!

So delicious!! I added feta and green beans to make it more substantial. I can see this being great with arugula added. Really good grain salad!
