Tabbouleh with Chickpeas

Place bulgur in a large bowl and pour boiling water over it. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, cover and let stand for 30 minutes. Drain through a fine sieve, pressing down firmly with the back of a spoon to squeeze out excess moisture. Return to the bowl and let cool.

Meanwhile, toss cucumber in a bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt and let stand for at least 45 minutes. Rinse, then drain in a sieve, pressing to extract excess water. Transfer to the bowl with the bulgur. Place tomatoes in a sieve and let drain for a few minutes.

Add the tomatoes to the bulgur and cucumber along with chickpeas, parsley, mint, scallions, lemon juice, cumin, cinnamon and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and gently combine. Season with pepper. Refrigerate for about 1 hour to let the flavors develop.

Add oil to the tabbouleh and toss gently. Serve topped with feta.
