You want to ensure that the lentils are cooked through but don't overcook them otherwise they will become mushy. Drain & set aside. While the lentils are cooking add the boiling water to the bulgur & fluff with a fork. Let sit until the water has all been absorbed. This will take about 20 minutes fluff occasionally. Combine the bulgur with the seasonings. Mix well & add the lentils when they have cooked to the desired consistency. Again ensure that the ingredients have been well combined. Cover tightly & refrigerate. Serve garnished with lemon wedges. Recipe by Mark Satterly
