what is Tabouli and... what is a easy and good Tabouli recipe?

Answer 1

I have made tabouli many times.

All the above is correct, however there are a couple of quick pieces of advice i will give you

1) Chop everything as fine as you can, the finer the chop the better the taste
2) Do not soak the burgul for too long, i would not soak it for more that 5 minutes, You get better flavor having it soak the lemmon and oil, instead of water

Answer 2

I love tabouli salad! Easy to prepare as well. You are not looking in the right place if you cannot find it, as most markets (Wal-Mart included I believe), all sell a mix these days. Try looking for the brand "Near East", which also makes couscous blends (Roasted Garlic & Olive Oil is wonderful). Best luck will be in the Asian/Middle Eastern/Mexican sections of the market. You can also find bulgur wheat in stores that carry "bulk" products, but our Wal-Mart does not. To your salad, you will also want to purchase a cucumber and tomato. If you find a box, you will most likely see a recipe on the back with addition recommendations for a salad. If you buy in the bulk section, and therefore have no seasoning packet, post here and I can send you a few recipes, as herbs, etc., do need to be added. Not trying to push a boxed product, as that was my only go-to for a long time where I live (I'm a 100% scratch cook myself), and am not sure excactly what you are looking for. Oh, and yes, it is Greek, as well as all citites surrounding the Mediterrian, including Morroco and Northern Africa (toss-up whose is best!). I love Northern-Africa, and my parents prefer Greece. Anyway, if you need further help with recipes, post and I would be happy to share.

1. Wash parsley well, drain and shake out excess moisture.

2. Soak crushed wheat in water in a large mixing bowl for 2 minutes. Drain well. Set aside while preparing other ingredients.

4. Chop onions fine and add to mixture along with remaining ingredients.

I also add more lemon; it's up to your taste.
Chill for 2 hours or until the bulgur is soft and not crunchy.

SAADA'S TABBOULEH

This salad of bulgur and fresh mint is a specialty of Rachel's sister-in-law.

1/2 cup bulgur (cracked wheat)

1 large bunch parsley or 2 small (2 cups finely chopped)
1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves
4 green onions
3/4 pound tomatoes, seeded, chopped
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Place bulgur in large bowl. Pour enough hot water over to cover generously. Let stand until bulgur softens, about 15 minutes. Drain well, pressing out excess water. Return bulgur to same large bowl.

Meanwhile, finely chop parsley, mint and green onions in processor or by hand. Add bulgur. Mix in tomatoes, then lemon juice, oil and cumin. Season generously with salt and pepper. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
