Place the bulgur in a bowl, sprinkle with the vegetable stock powder, and pour boiling water over it until the bulgur is completely covered. Set aside. For the salad dressing, combine the oil with the ajvar, lemon juice, and spices. Be careful with the cumin—it’s better to use a little less to start with. Slice the onion greens. Finely chop the mint and parsley. Dice the tomato and cucumber. Once the bulgur has cooled, mix all the ingredients together. Let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours. Season again with salt and pepper, if desired. Goes very well with grilled lamb or fish.
