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

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.

Tabbouleh Salad Tabbouleh Salad
My favourite salad by far and one that I make on a regular basis as it’s so quick yet so tasty. Traditionally this Middle Eastern dish is made with bulgar or cracked wheat but here I have used buckwheat as I like to use up the grains I have in the cupboard. Mildly spiced and an abundance of fresh herbs and a variety of textures and flavours make this colourful dish so appealing. Add anything you have to hand such as radishes, cucumber, to create your own unique tabbouleh.
