Tabouli

A herby and refreshing salad made out of parsley and bulgur. This side-dish is known to every Middle Eastern family and is my favourite salad to prepare for a dinner party.
Vorbereitungszeit 20 Minuten
Portionen: 6
Gericht: Salad, Side Dish
Küche: Middle Eastern

Zutaten
  

  • 100 g fine bulgur
  • 3 medium-sized tomatoes
  • 2 green onion stalks
  • 1 medium white onion
  • 150 g fresh parsley
  • 30 g mint leaves
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium lemons
  • Salt
  • Fresh Black Pepper
  • 3 tablespoons pomegranate seeds optional

Method
 

  1. Add the bulgur to a big bowl and soak it in hot water (add just enough so everything is just submerged). Let it rest for 20-30 minutes and fluff it up afterwards.
  2. In the meantime, slice the green onion and finely dice the white onion. Remove the watery tomato-seeds and finely dice them as well. Cut the mint leaves, as well as the parsley (also the parsley stems) into small pieces.
  3. Add everything to the bulgur, drizzle over olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and season with salt & black pepper. Mix, taste and adjust the seasoning. Optionally add pomegranate seeds.
