Tabbouleh
Vegetarian
Ingredients
- 1 cup fine or medium bulgur
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 bunch scallions, including some of the greens, sliced
- 4 cups flat leaf parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped mint
- 3 ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 6 T. olive oil
- salt
- Romaine lettuce leaves
Preparation
Put the bulgur in a bowl, cover it with water, and let it stand until water is absorbed (half an hour). Press out excess liquid, and toss with half of the lemon juice, the scallions, tomatoes, parsley and mint. Let stand for another half hour to allow the bulgur to get really soft.
While you're waiting, whisk the remaining lemon juice, the oil, and 1/2 tsp. salt together. Pour the dressing over the bulgur and toss well. Taste and make sure you like it, adjust seasoning. Serve in a shallow serving bowl, surrounding the tabbouleh with lettuce leaves.
