How To Make Tabbouleh
Step 1: We begin the preparation of our tabbouleh, to do this in a pot or container (off the heat) add the bulgur and then add the boiling water, cover and let stand for 10 minutes or until the bulgur has absorbed all the water.
Step 2: In another bowl add the cooked bulgur, tomato, spring onion, mint and parsley and mix well.
Step 3: Add the lemon juice, the 3 tablespoons of olive oil, a little salt, mix again and our delicious tabbouleh is ready.
Tips for preparing Tabbouleh
You can get bulgur in some supermarkets or in Lebanese stores or online stores.
As for how to cook the bulgur to make tabbouleh, there are several ways, among them we have to boil water, add the bulgur and cook for about 10 minutes, then remove the water with a strainer and we would have it ready, the second option we like much more, as it is less laborious and is the one we have used to prepare this recipe, we simply place the bulgur in a pot or container and add boiling water, then cover it and let it stand for 10 minutes and it would be ready, the bulgur will absorb all the water and there would be no need to strain it (for this last option, we should always add one part of bulgur to one and a half parts of water).
