Lebanese Tabouli

Collection: Vegetarian Recipes

Ingredients

  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • several roma tomatos, diced (remove seeds if your not lazy)
  • Parsley, finely choped 1/2 to 3/4 cup
  • 1/2 cup bulghur wheat
  • 1 or 2 green onion(s)
  • Lemon juice
  • Olive oil
  • allspice (optional)
  • cinnamon (optional)
  • salt

Directions

The middle eastern dish Tabouli uses bulghur wheat. It's an excellent hot
day side dish. My recipe is from the Lebanese side of the family. All
mesurements are to taste -- I'm not wild about too much parsley so I use
smaller amounts.

Pour hot water over the bughur and let soak until soft and most of the water
has been absorbed. Mix the diced vegies by hand then add the bulghur and
mix some more. add lemon juice and olive oil to get the right flavor and
consistency. Add the spice(s) and salt and mix a bit more. Refrigerate,
eat and enjoy.
