Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 20 min.

Rinse 80 g bulgur wheat, put in a bowl and cover with cold water. Leave to soften for about 20 minutes.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 10 min.

Prepare 2 tomatoes and cut into small pieces after peeling.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 10 min.

Take the parsley leaves off their stalks (discard these) and chop.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 5 min.

Chop 1 spring onion (scallion) small and put into a salad bowl with the tomatoes and parsley.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 3 min.

Drain the bulgur wheat and add this to the bowl with 3 tablespoons lemon juice and 3 tablespoons olive oil.

Salt lightly, pepper and mix well.

Your Lebanese tabbouleh is ready.

Remarks

If you don't have spring onions, just use a small normal onion, red if possible.

Whether Lebanese tabbouleh should include mint or not is a good question: I don't think so, but you should go along with your own taste, of course.

Keeping: A few hours in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
