Tabouleh Raw Recipes

TABBOULEH

Steps:

• Place the bulghur in a large bowl, pour in the boiling water, and add the lemon juice, olive oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Stir, then allow to stand at room temperature for about 1 hour.
• Add the scallions, mint, parsley, cucumber, tomatoes, 2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper; mix well. Season, to taste, and serve or cover and refrigerate. The flavor will improve if the tabbouleh sits for a few hours.

TABOULEH

Steps:

• If you have time, thoroughly rinse the parsley (3 bunches) the night before. Wrap it in paper towels and place it in the fridge. This will make the tabouleh EXTRA crisp! If you don't have time to rinse the night before, be sure to get the parsley as dry as possible.
• In a small bowl, combine olive oil (1/3 cup), lemon juice (2/3 cup), salt (1 teaspoon) and pepper (1 teaspoon).
• Add cracked bulgur (1/2 cup) to the lemon juice/olive oil and let it sit for 30 minutes - 1 hour, depending on how soft you want the bulgur to be. (I usually do this for 30 minutes while I'm chopping everything else)
• Pick the leaves from the stems of the parsley. I do this by grabbing the bunch of parsley and sliding a sharp knife over the top, then picking out any large stems.
• Place leaves into the food processor. Pulse the parsley until it is finely chopped using 1 second intervals. Make sure not to pulse too much! Alternatively you can use a knife to chop the parsley.
• Add minced sweet onion (1/2), minced tomatoes (3 deseeded), minced garlic (2 cloves) and parsley to the bulgur and stir to combine.
• Add more salt/pepper to taste. Tabouleh is best served after resting in the fridge overnight. Enjoy!
