  • TABBOULEH.... Major Key 🔑
    1/4 cup #1 bulgur (cracked wheat)
    1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
    2 bunches of Italian flat leaf parsley
    8 -10 leaves of mint( no stems) or one teaspoon of dried mint flakes.
    2-3 large firm tomatoes
    4-5 leaves of romain lettuce
    1 bunch green onion or a quarter of a sweet type of onion
    1/4 cup EVOO
    1/2 teaspoon salt or to your taste
    A dash of black pepper
    In a large bowl soak the cracked wheat in the lemon juice. Wash and spin the parsley in a salad spinner to get rid of all the water. Chop mint, green onion white and green parts, lettuce finely then chop parsley finely as well. Dice tomatoes. Mix everything together add the EVOO ,salt and pepper. Taste to see if it needs more salt or more lemon. Enjoy!

    I rinsed my bulgur in water for a minute, drained it, then soaked it in lemon juice - it worked fabulously! Such a fresh & delicious salad! I spooned some into Romaine's boats and ate them for lunch and dinner. Lots left for tomorrow! This will be my summer go-to! Thank you!
    May I ask a huge favor of you? Years ago, I used to visit a restaurant in Vancouver named, Dar Lebanon. They made THE BEST lentil soup. Would you kindly post your favorite lentil soup? I was so sad when they closed! Thank you! 🌹🌹💐💐

    Mi grandfather was Lebanese and my grandmother use to make the Tabbouleh. I make it myself as well, but I add garlic to it and the mint I added fresh. I was soaking the Bulgur in water, and added the lemon after, but now I will try to do it in lemon as you say. Thank you for your recipe 😊❤

    My father was Lebanese and I grew up eating Tabouli. This tip of soaking bulgar in lemon juice is nothing short of genius, I can't believe I never thought of it. This tip has intensified the acid and lemon flavor. My tabouli is resting now, but initial taste is fabulous. One of my pet peeves is a soggy tabouli. I didn't have fresh mint, so I added dried mint into the bulgar with the lemon juice so it can rehydrate at the same time the wheat is softening. I don't subscribe to many channels, but you got me with this genius tip. Shukraan

    I researched a lot of videos to find the easiest way to make such a time and effort consuming dish.I tried your recipe and I must say it was fantastic! Soaking the bulgar in lemon juice was not only a time saver but a taste saver as well. I did not use lettuce and it still came out great. I no longer need to order this from a restaurant since I can now make my own. Thank you!

    I first had Tabbouleh salad whilst working in Saudi Arabia. Just loved it.
    I make it regularly at home now, there is actually one in the fridge from a batch I made yesterday. Thank you to The Lebanon for the wonderful recipe.
    What is the stainless steel scoop you use, that looks really useful.

    How long do you soak the bulgur? My soaked bulgur is still hard and not soft at all after 30 minutes.

    • @familyaccount5055
      @familyaccount5055 Рік тому

      Are u using the smallest bulgur which is #1 ? If so it should be soft after 30 minutes. The recipe calls for adding the lemon juice over the bulgur and you add all the veggies over that. I doesn’t need more than 3 minutes

      The surface of the lemon juice should be just above the bulgur wheat to ensure that everything soaks it up.

    I thought the bulgur needed to be heated in boiling water. In fresh lemon juice will it still be crunchy or will it turn smooth? :)

    • @mamaghanouj8336
      @mamaghanouj8336  5 років тому +3

      segivde bulgur is already precooked and bulgur for tabbouleh need to be size 1 and that’s really fine it will soften nicely by just soaking it in lemon juice for about 15 minutes make sure the lemon juice covers all the bulgur when soaking it.

    @kentrujillo8282 3 роки тому

    Parsley stems should never never be used, soaking the bulgur in the lemon juice is totally wrong as the lemon juice should be tasted with all the other ingredients (specially with the oil), instead chop the tomatoes first, add the bulgur and let it soak the juices from the tomatoes. And that's my Grandma Ghanouj secret.
