Tabbouleh

Authentic tabbouleh is predominantly a herb salad with a little bulgur, not the other way around. The ratio of parsley to grain is what separates a true Lebanese tabbouleh from imitations.

Ingredients

  • 50g fine bulgur wheat
  • 3 large bunches flat-leaf parsley (about 300g), finely chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh mint, finely chopped
  • 3 ripe tomatoes, finely diced
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Romaine lettuce leaves for scooping
