A Lebanese version of yogurt sauce. Delicious on crisp toasted pita chips.
Place the yogurt in a fine strainer, or cloth, and allow excess liquid to drain for at least 30 minutes. The yogurt will thicken to a heavy, creamy consistancy. The volume will be reduced to about 3/4 cup. If you are using Greek or Arabic style yogurt this step is not needed but reduce volume to 3/4 cup.
Soak the bulgur in warm water for 15 minutes, then put in a strainer and press out all excess water. cup dry bulgur will make cup cooked (soaked) bulgur.
Combine all ingredients except for cilantro. Place on a serving platter. Chill, then decorate with cilantro and serve.
Note - may be eaten in small bowls with a spoon or scooped with toasted pita depending on consistancy.
