Sort & rinse lentils. Add water & cook for 30 minutes. 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.
