Tabbouleh
- 60 ml Bulghur (parched crushed wheat) If available, use the fine type (# 1 fine grind)
- 2 Green onions
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 dash Pepper
- 1 pinch Dried thyme
- 600 ml * Parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp * Mint (finely chopped)
- 10 * Cherry tomatoes
- 60 ml Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- Put the bulghur into a fine mesh colander, then rinse under running water.
- Press the water out to drain excess moisture.
- Transfer to a bowl, then cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for over an hour (the photo here shows how bulghur looks just after draining).
- Mince the green onions and quarter the cherry tomatoes.
- Combine the bulghur with the green onions and mix in the salt, pepper, and thyme.
- In a separate bowl, combine the * ingredients, and place over the bulghur.
- Chill in the refrigerator until it's ready to serve; (since it may become watery after time passes, do not mix with the bulghur right away).
- You can prepare up to Step 3 a half day in advance.
- Before serving, add the lemon juice, mix well, then season with salt and more lemon juice to taste.
- Add the olive oil, then serve!
- I buy the packaged type that's sold in a Lebanese supermarket.
- At this store, they have types #1-#3.
- #1 is the finest ground.
- At Whole Food's Market, you can buy type #2 in unpackaged, loose form.
- This is bulghur.
