Tabouli
This Tabouli goes well with a tasty Middle Eastern Meatloaf or barbecued Lamb & Herb Koftas.
Note: Let stand for 30 minutes before serving.
Ingredients
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
Method
-
Place the burghul into a bowl and add enough hot water to cover it by 3cm. Set aside for 20 min to soak.
-
Meanwhile, combine the parsley, mint, spring/green onions, tomatoes and cucumber in a large bowl.
-
Drain the burghul, squeezing as much liquid out as possible then add to the bowl with the parsley mixture.
-
Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and some salt and pepper in a jug. Pour into tabouli and stir well to combine. Chill until required.
