#223 The Case of Tabbouleh

Match with hummus, toasted pita wedges or crackers, and olives or Pickled Beets.

 

So many options. You can also make this with 1 cup barley, simmered for 50 min. in 3-1/2 cups water.

3 cups water

salt

1-1/2 cups bulgur (or 3/4 cup bulgur and 3/4 cup quinoa)

2 baby cucumbers, chopped

1 tomato, seeded and chopped (or watermelon for an even lighter/sweeter version)

2 cups chopped parsley (or 1 cup parsley, 1 cup mint)

2 tablespoons lemon juice

3 tablespoons olive oil

pepper

Bring the water and salt to taste to a boil. Add the bulgur, cover, return to a boil, and simmer for 17 min.

Stir in the cucumbers, tomato, parsley, lemon juice and olive oil.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Serves 4.
