For tabouleh you don't really need a recipe. It's basically a bunch of parsley finely chopped, 4 or 5 or so chopped mint leaves, 1 large tomato diced very fine, 1/2 cup of soaked buckweat, a bit of lemon juice, salt & olive oil. Just mix it all together!
Bulgar Wheat can be hard to find- Near East brand actually makes a pretty good Tabboleh mix- it has dried parsley and mint, so I usually add some fresh to it and it is easy and good.
INGREDIENTS:
2 bunches of fresh parsley (1 1/2 cup chopped, with stems discarded)
2 tablespoons of fresh mint, chopped
I medium onion, finely chopped
6 medium tomatoes, diced
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup bulghur, medium grade
6 tablespoons lemon juice
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Romaine lettuce or grape leaves to line servicng bowl (optional)
PREPARATION:
Soak bulghur in water for 1 1/2 to 2 hours in cold water until soft.
Squeeze out excess water from bulghur using hands or paper towel.
Combine all ingredients, except for salt, pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil.Line serving bowl with grape leaves or romaine lettuce, and add salad.
Sprinkle olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper on top.
Serve immediately or chill in refrigerator for 2 hours before serving
Then is wasn't Tebboleh.
Tabouleh comes in all forms. The way i do it is equal amounts of bulgur soaked in water for 3 hrs, parsley and mint. Add some finely chopped tomato (try not to add the seeds), some garlic, and some finely chopped onion.
Add salt, olive oil and lemon juice to taste. You can add cumin, cucumber, capers, grape tomatoes, peppers, celery, or whatever.
The basic ingredients are parsley, mint, olive oil, and bulgur.
