This Tabouli goes well with a tasty Middle Eastern Meatloaf or barbecued Lamb & Herb Koftas.

1/3 cup fine burghul or cracked wheat

3 cups fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped

1 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

4 spring/green onions, finely sliced

2 tomatoes, diced

1 Lebanese cucumber, diced

juice of 2-3 lemons

1/3 cup olive oil

1.

Place the burghul into a bowl and add enough hot water to cover it by 3cm. Set aside for 20 min to soak.

2.

Meanwhile, combine the parsley, mint, spring/green onions, tomatoes and cucumber in a large bowl.

3.

Drain the burghul, squeezing as much liquid out as possible then add to the bowl with the parsley mixture.
