Tabbouleh

This is one of the dishes prepared by my Lebanese friend. While it's troublesome to chop the parsley, I take the extra effort since I want to eat this tasty dish. According to my Lebanese and Syrian friends, American-style tabbouleh has too much bulghur. They imagine it's because it's too much trouble to chop the parsley! They even say that there's too much bulghur in my tabbouleh shown in the photo.

Even though it takes extra effort, chop the parsley, mint, and green onion. Using a food processor will give the wrong taste and texture. The final product has a tendency to get watery, so be sure to thoroughly drain the excess water from the bulghur. Adjust the amount of tomatoes to taste. If using regular sized tomatoes, it's best to remove the seeds. It also tastes good with chopped cucumbers. Recipe by Mama Imani
