Method

  1. Put the bulgar wheat in a large bowl and pour over 250ml boiling water. Allow to sit for 10 minutes then fluff up. Mix the lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, the spring onions and a large pinch of the herbs. Season and mix again. Reserve a couple of tbsp of the dressing and pour the rest over the bulgar wheat. Mix well and add the remaining herbs, tomatoes and cucumber. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and lemon.
  2. Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan and brown the halloumi on both sides. Serve with the tabbouleh, the remaining dressing poured over and the lemon halves.

    It tasted delicious, I used wholegrain medium brown rice instead of bulgar wheat. It can also be used to compliment a main dish too like vegie quiche.

    Lovely recipe, although the bulgar wheat takes at least 20 mins to absorb that much liquid, and the two extra lemons to serve are completely excessive as it's very lemony any way. We also manage to eat a portion this size between two people; it might feed three at most.

    Used a fine bulgar wheat which only takes 10mins to soak up hot water, no cooking involved. Really great taste. Goes well with balsamic and mint marinated lamb chops.

    I made this yesterday and had enough over for lunch the next day. I think maybe a bit too much lemon, otherwise very nice and refreshing.

    I made a traditional Lebanese tabbouleh - much more parsley, no cucumber, a small amount of fine bulghar (which doesnt need to soak and absorb water), and everything chopped up much smaller. Was delicious with the grilled halloumi.

    Nice but would only serve two as a main meal. Only used one and a half lemons altogether, and I thought that was plenty.
