Tabbouleh is a traditional Levantine dish typically made with bulgur, chopped parsley, mint, tomatoes, and a lemon-olive oil dressing. It is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is often served as an appetizer or side dish. However, tabbouleh can also be used as a main course when combined with pasta. Pasta adds a heartier texture to the dish and makes it more filling. There are many different recipes for tabbouleh with pasta, each with its own unique flavor profile. Some recipes use short pasta, such as orzo or penne, while others use long pasta, such as spaghetti or linguine. Some recipes also add other ingredients to the dish, such as grilled chicken or vegetables.

TABBOULEH



Tabbouleh image

Provided by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup fine cracked wheat (bulgur)
1 cup water
1 1/2 cups finely minced Italian flat-leaf parsley
2/3 cup finely minced fresh mint
1/4 cup finely chopped scallions
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 large tomato, peeled, seeded, chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup lemon juice or more to taste
1 teaspoon salt, if desired
Leaves of crisp romaine lettuce for serving

Steps:

  • Place cracked wheat in a bowl and cover with water. Set aside for approximately 30 minutes until wheat has swelled and softened. Drain wheat, squeezing it in your hands to expel as much water as possible.
  • Place the wheat in a large salad bowl. Add parsley and mint and mix well. Add scallions, onions and tomatoes, using a wooden spoon or your hands to press the vegetables slightly so that they give up their flavors.
  • Add olive oil, lemon juice and salt, if desired. Taste, and add more lemon juice if necessary. The lemon taste should be definite but not overpowering. Set aside, covered, in a cool place for an hour or so until ready to serve.
  • Serve the tabbouleh on a tray lined with crisp romaine lettuce leaves. Diners should use the leaves to scoop up the tabbouleh.

VEGETABLE TABBOULEH WITH CHICKPEAS



Vegetable Tabbouleh With Chickpeas image

This vegetable-packed salad requires no cooking, other than boiling water to soak the bulgur wheat. Sweet tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers and crisp asparagus provide texture, while creamy chickpeas add heft. A tangy shallot-lemon vinaigrette brightens the dish and soaks into the bulgur as it sits, developing more flavor over time. The salad can be made a few hours ahead; for best results, toss the salad with half of the dressing and reserve the remaining half. When ready to serve, toss with the reserved dressing to freshen it up. It's a satisfying vegetarian main, a great side for roasted meats and fish, or an easy make-ahead picnic dish.

Categories     dinner, lunch, salads and dressings, vegetables, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings (about 12 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups medium bulgur wheat
Boiling water, as needed
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons minced shallot
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon grated garlic
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
8 ounces asparagus, trimmed and sliced on the diagonal 1/8-inch-thick
8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes (optional)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine bulgur wheat with enough boiling water to cover by 1 inch. Season lightly with salt and stir to combine. Cover tightly with a tight-fitting lid and let stand until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain well, pressing out excess liquid. Spread out on a baking sheet to cool.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine shallot, mustard, lemon juice and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in oil until well blended.
  • Add remaining ingredients to the vinaigrette and toss to evenly coat. Once bulgur has cooled, add bulgur, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss again. Transfer to a large serving bowl or platter to serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs, vegetables, and lemon juice are essential for making a flavorful tabbouleh. If you can't find fresh parsley, cilantro, or mint, you can use dried herbs, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and ruin the texture of the tabbouleh.
  • Let the tabbouleh chill before serving: This allows the flavors to meld together and the tabbouleh to become more refreshing.
  • Serve tabbouleh as a side dish or main course: Tabbouleh is a versatile dish that can be served as a side dish with grilled meats or fish, or as a main course with a side of pita bread or hummus.

Conclusion:

Tabbouleh is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its bright flavors and healthy ingredients, tabbouleh is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
