For a delicious Lebanese Tabbouleh...

...You need:

  • 3 bunches of fresh parsley
  • ½ bunch of fresh mint
  • 2 onions
  • 5 medium tomatoes
  • 100g of bulgur or cracked wheat
  • 3 lemons
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 roman lettuce
Preparation time: 40 minutes
Portions: for 6 people

Begin by soaking the raw bulgur in cold water for 20 minutes.

Wash and rinse fresh mint as well as parsley. Chop them up as finely as possible on a board discarding the stems.

Cut tomatoes in dices and chop the onions.

Now squeeze out water from the bulgur using hands and put in a salad bowl.
Add chopped parsley, mint and diced tomatoes.
Rub chopped onions with salt and pepper and add it to the salad. Add lemon juice and olive oil. Mix the whole ingredients.

Put it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes and serve chilled.

You can eat Tabbouleh with lettuce, with pita bread or simply with a fork!
You will have a taste of Lebanon with each bite...that's a guarantee! Alf Sahtein!
