Preparation

After chopping, wash parsley and mint and drain well. Squeeze lemon over burghul and leave to soften.

Combine parsley, mint, tomato, shallot and softened burghul. Season with salt and pepper and mix in olive oil. The best way to mix is to use your hands. To eat, spoon some of the tabouleh onto a lettuce leaf, roll up and eat.



Note:
Tabbouleh can be prepared 1-2 hours ahead, but add salt, pepper and oil just before serving.

I love the use of lemon juice to soften the bulghur rather than having to boil it beforehand. A really easy, unintimidating way to prepare taboulleh--and delicious!

No Pepper in Tabouleh
Hi there, There are at least 3 ways tabouleh can be made depending from which area of Lebanon you come from, North, South or Beirut. The recipe from the city, Beirut, does not contain pepper. With Lebanese cuisine, you can go from one restaurant to another and the same dish can be made many different ways depending on the region the chef/cook grew up in. But all in all, its a great feed!

Oops, no mint!
Hi All Loved this recipe when mixed with the Kafta recipe. But being in the country I had no access to mint leaves or lemons and all the shops were shut. So I used a couple of teaspoons of bottled mint sauce instead of the lemons and mint. Turned out pretty well. I promise to shop better next time. John

Ethiopian Injera

Injera, the Ethiopian pancake-style bread is traditionally made with teff (a native wheat). Teff flour may be available at good health food stores, however if you can’t find it, substitute buckwheat, which does not taste exactly like injera but is similar in texture and colour.
