Mohenjo-Daro Chicken Salad

Mohenjo-Daro Chicken Salad

I was going to call this Spicy Licorice Chicken Salad because of the taste, but now that it's more done it tastes less like licorice. The dish is called Mohenjo-Daro Chicken Salad because that's what it asked to be named (and I like to name dishes after places I've never been so I can let my imagination run the day).

Ingredients:

2 Cups Bulgur Wheat
2 Cups Water
1/2 teaspoon Ground Red Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Ground All Spice
1/2 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon Ground White Pepper
1 teaspoon Ground Cardamom
1/4 teaspoon Ground Mace
1/2 teaspoon Whole Caraway Seeds
2 pinches Kosher Salt
1 bushel* of fresh mint
1 bushel* of parsley
1/4 C. toasted almonds

1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon hot chili oil
1 Green Bell Pepper
1 Medium Red Onion
8 ounces chopped chicken breast

5 Ounces of plain yogurt

Instructions:

1. Boil cups of water and pour over bulgur wheat in a bowl (it's going to expand so make it a big bowl). Let it sit for awhile and let the water get soaked up.

2. Mix in spices, mint, parsley, salt and almonds.

3. Heat up a pan with the oils and add the chicken breast, onions and peppers. Cook until done. Let cool and mix into the barley mixture.

4. Stir in yogurt and put in a bowl to chill.
