Tabouli! Its the best thing ever.


To make it you'll need:

1 parts fine grind bulger wheat soaked in 2 part liquid (lemon juice, you can also use part water too if its too sour.) After this has been absorbed ~45 minutes, fluff with fork/fingers. Toss with:

Finely chopped parsley
Finely chopped mint (Fresh spearmint is best, but dried works too)
Minced garlic.
Finely chopped scallion or onion.
Small dice cucumber
Small dice tomato
Olive oil
S&P

Let flavors meld for an hour or two.

I sometimes add fresh dill or tarragon if I have any fresh on hand. You can also use vinegar or verjuice in place of lemon. Some people use pureed onion for the liquid. There are verions that add chopped radish greens, cinnamon, or allspice. I usually go easy on the garlic and onion. I like adding a dollop of plain yougurt to my portion. Sometimes I add a sprinkle of aleppo pepper.
