Lebanese Style Tabouli image

My family thinks that Emily's Lebanese Deli in Minneapolis has the best tabouli. I found this recipe on a blog by MoiFrey (http://diningchezmoi.blogspot.com/2006/08/my-favorite-tabouli-tabouli-is.html) She worked on it for years and claimed to be like Emily's - it's a winner! I use my own method of draining and fluffing the bulgar and the results seem to be just fine. (See blog for original method.)

Time 3h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup Bulgar wheat, dry
2 -3 cups cold water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup fresh lemon or 1/4 cup lime juice
1 teaspoon fresh garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried mint
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 cup olive oil
fresh black pepper
1 cup parsley, freshly chopped and packed
1/2 cup scallion, chopped (include the greens)
2 medium tomatoes, diced

Steps:

  • Prepare the bulgur by soaking it for 2-3 hours in cold water.
  • When it reaches the "al dente" stage, drain it thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer. While preparing the other ingredients, let the damp wheat sit for another hour, stirring and tossing it from time to time, to fluff it and dry it.
  • Add the lemon juice, garlic, oil, mint and seasonings and mix thoroughly.
  • Add the chopped parsley and onions and toss everything together.
  • Just before serving, add the chopped tomatoes. Correct the seasonings.

This tabouli is not worth the effort. It's not very flavorful and it's not very filling.

This tabouli is very bland. It needs more seasoning.

This tabouli is a bit too lemony for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice.
