There are two secret (and essential) ingredients in this recipe - fine bulgur (which has the added benefit of cooking quickly) and tamari soy sauce. This really is the best tabbouleh you will ever make! Dish should be chilled before serving.

CILANTRO-JALAPENO HUMMUS AND TABOULI (A LA PITA JUNGLE)



Cilantro-Jalapeno Hummus and Tabouli (A La Pita Jungle) image

I'm addicted to this dish at a local pita chain and had to re-create it at home. The flavor combinations are out of this world; every bit is sheer heaven, I'm not even kidding! My taste buds have never experienced such excitement. This is a vegetarian recipe that will please non-vegetarians (my husband and I are both meat eaters). Pita Jungle uses bulgur in their tabouli (which is traditional) but I use quinoa in mine, to boost the protein a little, and I can't tell the difference in flavor. Prep time includes the recommended 24-hour "marinate" time for the tabouli. The hummus recipe is a variation of my Recipe #436722.

BROWN RICE TABOULI



Brown Rice Tabouli image

Tabouli is a great side or light snack on a hot summer day. My version is for those that DON'T like bulgar or are gluten sensitive. I also have additions to make this a "one dish wonder" for a complete meal and/or more veggies to satisfy the pallet of vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. This recipe can also be made with bulgar or barley...it is the best the next day. I even took it to my church picnic and got rave reviews.

CHICKEN TABOULI (TABBOULEH)



Chicken Tabouli (Tabbouleh) image

You will love this! It's the perfect recipe for a luncheon. Also a good make-ahead recipe for the week. Since I like keeping the seeds in the tomatoes and cukes, I just make the salad without them, then dice them fresh and mix them in each time I serve it. You may want to seed them if you throw it all together at once. I got this from a friend, but I think it came from cooking light or southern living. Serve with bread/butter.

My family thinks that Emily's Lebanese Deli in Minneapolis has the best tabouli.

LEMON TABOULI WITH TENDER ROMAINE



Lemon Tabouli With Tender Romaine image

This tabouli is excellent with or without the romaine lettuce. To make this a meal, you could add some chopped grilled chicken. From Epicurious.com, September 2003. Paula Wolfert: "A few years ago, when I was in southeastern Turkey working on my book Mediterranean Grains and Greens, I noticed that the women didn't soak their bulgur in water for some summer preparations. When I asked a Turkish friend about this, she let out a laugh. "In Turkey, no man would marry a woman who just used water! For cold bulgur dishes we always soak in tomato juice, onion juice, or fresh pressed and strained sour grape juice to flavor the bulgur first.""

BEET AND QUINOA TABOULI



BEET AND QUINOA TABOULI image

Categories     Side

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the vinaigrette:
Sea salt and pepper
Juice of 1 lemon or lime
6 Tbs. olive oil
2 Tbs. chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 Tbs. chopped cilantro
1 Tbs. chopped chives
1 Tbs. chopped mint
For the tabouli:
2 Tbs. pine nuts
1 cup (7 oz) uncooked white quinoa
2 cups water or homemade vegetable broth
Sea salt
1 large cooked beet, peeled and diced
1 cup mixed cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
3 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
Tip: To cook the beet, add it (unpeeled) to a pot of water, bring to a boil, and cook until it's easy to insert a knife in the middle. Once cooked through, let cool before peeling the beet.

Steps:

  • Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine the sea salt and pepper with the lemon juice and oil, and whisk to emulsify. Stir in the herbs. Dress the salad with this vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning to your taste. Add more dressing if you like and serve with the pine nuts. Make the tabouli: Toast the pine nuts in a frying pan over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until lightly colored and fragrant; remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain it in a colander. Add it to a pot and cover with the water or broth and a pinch of sea salt. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat, cover, and simmer for 12 to 14 minutes, or until all of the water or broth is absorbed. Remove from the heat and keep covered for 5 more minutes. Transfer the quinoa to a bowl and fluff it with a fork; let cool. Add the beet and toss gently. The quinoa will take on a nice pink color. Add the tomatoes, onion, and cheese.

Categories     Palestinian

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups flat leaf parsley
1/2 cup of fresh mint
4 -5 green onions
4 tomatoes
1 cup bulgur
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 jalapeno pepper (optional)
5 tablespoons olive oil
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse bulgur several times then soak in cold water for about 20 minutes then drain in a sieve.
  • Clean Parsly and remove stems (you want mostly leaves).
  • Chop parsley leaves, mint leaves, finely.
  • Cut green onions with green into 1/4" lengths.
  • Chop tomatoes to a small dice.
  • Put drained bulgur and tomato in a large mixing or serving bowl.
  • Add salt, pepper, allspice, lemon juice, olive oil, mint, parsley and optional minced jalepeno.
  • Toss well, let rest in refrigerator a few hours or over night, toss occasionally.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your tabbouleh will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, and parsley.
  • Chop the ingredients finely: This will help the flavors to meld together and make the tabbouleh easier to eat.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil is one of the main ingredients in tabbouleh, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Season the tabbouleh to taste: Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. You may also want to add some fresh mint or parsley.
  • Let the tabbouleh rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. Ideally, you should let the tabbouleh rest for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Tabbouleh is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is also a healthy salad that is packed with vitamins and minerals. If you are looking for a new salad to try, I highly recommend tabbouleh.
