Tabbouleh

by user Elocina

Introduction
Bulgur is a grain that has a nutty flavor. It becomes soft as it absorbs the liquid from the salad.

Info
Cook Time: 30 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients

 * 1 cup bulgur wheat


 * 1 cup hot water


 * 3 cups fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped


 * 4 scallions


 * 3 lemons


 * 1 garlic clove


 * 2 Tbsp olive oil


 * 1/2 tsp salt


 * 1/4 tsp pepper


 * 3/4 cup diced tomatoes

Directions
1.Put the bulgur in a medium bowl with 1 cup of hot water. The bulgur will absorb the water.

2.Wash the parsley in a colander under running water. Roll the herbs in paper towels to dry.

3.Wash the scallions and pat dry. On a cutting board, cut off the roots and slice the white portion into 1/4 –inch slices. Finely chop the slices and discard the green tops.

4.Roll the lemons on a flat surface to loosen the membranes.

5.Cut the lemons in half. Squeeze each lemon half over a measuring cup until you have 1/2 cup of juice. Remove seeds.

6.Peel the papery skin off the garlic clove. Slice the garlic with a paring knife and mince.

7.Combine the scallions, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk together. Fold the lemon juice mixture into the bulgur with a spoon. Add the tomatoes and continue stirring until well combined.
