Method

  1. Rinse the bulgur wheat in a sieve until the water runs clear. Drain well, then transfer to a bowl. Pour over 200ml boiling water, cover with cling film and leave to soak for 30 mins or so while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

  2. Keeping the parsley in a bunch, chop the leaves roughly. Don’t worry about the inclusion of some of the stalks; this all adds to the flavour. Now do the same with the mint. Put the chopped herbs in a large bowl and add the tomato and spring onion.

  3. Thoroughly drain the bulgur, then add to herb mix, along with lemon juice and olive oil. Mix thoroughly, season and serve.

Decided to make this having had Tabbouleh on holiday in Greece recently. I used a higher proportion of bulgar wheat than the recipe proposes (about 80g for 2 of us), but other than that, stuck to the recipe, and really enjoyed the fresh flavours. A nice side salad for the summer.

Fantastic, especially with the spicy falafels (also GF). But you really do need to be generous with the seasoning. I also added the zest of the lemon as could bear throwing it away!! The bulghar wheat made a pleasant change from couscous having a bit more bite to it!

In the words of Mr Jamie Oliver this is the pucker one much better than the other recipe. but you do need salt and only about 1tbsp of oil.

I did it a bit differently, I got rid of the spring onions. I peeled and cored a cucumber and chopped it finely. I sliced up a handful of Black Olives and added those. I added a clove of pressed garlic. One big pinch of salt and a tiny bit of black pepper. I also doubled the Bulgar Wheat. To finish it I broke up a slab of Feta Cheese and turned it into a CYPRIOT/LEBANESE TABOUHLEH..... Yummy
