The tabouli from Ghossains tastes delicious and healthy. All of the ingredients are very healthy for you and the ingredients are full of nutrients. Parsley, mint, lemons, bulgur, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and green onions.
The bulgur needs to be softened. Some recipes said that it had to be combined with hot water, but it works fine if you soak equal parts bulgur and very hot water from the tap for half an hour. The recipe called for 2 cups of bulgur and 2 cups of water. I will get to that later...
Let the chopping begin. While the bulgur soaks all of the vegetables need to be chopped very finely. The cucumberrs are diced.
Mint was minced.
Two bunches of Italian flat leaf parsley were chopped beyond fine. Chopping this parsley reminds me of culinary school. We use to have to chop parsley finer than fine and then take it up to our chef instructor. He would tell us to take it back to our stations and chop it finer. My hands would cramp!
Green onions chopped.
All of this green in a bowl just looks super healthy.
Now this is the part where I said I would talk about later. In my opinion this recipe called for wayyyyy toooooooo mmmmmuuuuuchhhhh bulgur. I would have preferred 1/2 the amount of bulgur. Next time I will try only one cup of bulgur.
1/2 a cup of olive oil.
The juice of three lemons.
And here is the final dish. Traditional tabouli is much more green than brown. This is why I was not happy with this recipe. It is good, but the amount of bulgur was the dominant flavor over the fresh green vegetables. I like to eat tabouli in while wheat wraps with hummus and lettuce.
If you have never had tabouli give it a try. It is a healthy salad that that is versatile and delicious!
