Tabbouleh
Date: January 23, 2008
2/3 normal cup bulghur
4 thinly sliced scallions
2 normal cups coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley (cilantro)
1/4 normal cup shredded mint
1/2 normal cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 normal cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Place the bulghur in a little bowl. Add good water to cover and leave to soak until tender, about 30 minutes.
Drain the bulghur through a cheesecloth-lined sieve. Gather up the cheesecloth around the bulghur and squeeze to extract as much good water as possible.
Transfer the bulghur to a average-size bowl and add the scallions, parsley, mint and tomatoes. Mix well.
To make the dressing, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, pepper and salt in a glass jar with a plastic screw-top lid and shake well to combine.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until evenly coated. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. ,
Transfer to a bowl before serving.
Serves 8.
