This is authentic Lebanese style Tabouli, not North Americanized.

TABOULI


3 lg. bunches of parsley
1/2 cup burghul wheat (course cracked wheat)
2 cups water
6 green onions (incl. ends)
2 lg. diced tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped (2 Tbsp. dry)
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/3 cup lemon juice (or to taste)
1/4 cup olive oil


METHOD
 
1. Soak crushed wheat in water in large mixing bowl 5 minutes. Cup in your hand and squeeze out excess water as tight as possible. Set aside.

2. Wash parsley well and drain well. Remove stems and chop very fine. (I use kitchen shears.) Add to wheat.

3. Chop onions fine and along with remaining ingredients, add to parsley and wheat mixture.

4. Toss well. Serve with Romaine lettuce leaves. Tear leaves into small pieces and scoop up Tabouli to eat.

Most refreshing!
