Middle Eastern Salad: Tabbouleh

• 40 g (1.4oz) bulgar wheat
• 1 Juice of 3 lemons
• 1 handful flat leaf parsley
• 1 handful mint
• 4 large tomatoes
• 6 spring onions
• 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 pinch cinnamon
• 1 pinch Sea salt and black pepper

1. Rinse the bulgar in water several times and then let it soak in the juice of one of the lemons for 10 minutes.
2. Fluff with a fork and drain when the time has lapsed.
3. Wash, dry and finely chop the parsley with a very sharp knife.
4. It's really important to do this by hand (a blender will make it too pulpy).
5. Do the same with the mint.
6. Finely but roughly chop the tomatoes, draining off the excess juice, and add the herbs and chopped onions.
7. Sprinkle the bulgar wheat all over, then dress with the remaining lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, cinnamon, salt and pepper.
8. Serve with some little gem lettuce leaves dipped into the salad around the bowl's edge.
9. These can be used to scoop it up.
