Tabouli Recipe/Instructions
Ingredients:
1 cup of
bulgur, or couscous, or half a cup of each
4 green onions, finely chopped
4 tomatoes, finely chopped
1 large bunch of fresh parsely, finely chopped
1 large bunch of mint, finely chopped
1 large green pepper, finely chopped
1/2 an English cucumber, finely chopped
1 cup of tofu, finely cubed (optional)
1-2 cans of chick peas, rinsed and drained
2 whacking great big carrots, grated or finely chopped
1/2 of a cup of olive oil
1/2-2/3 cup of fresh lemon juice (i like it really lemony)
2 tsp. minced garlic (i use about 4 cloves)
freshly ground pepper and if desired, some Mrs. Dash or Spike seasoning
Helpful hint:
Use an electric food chopper for all the vegetable ingredients,
otherwise it would be an extremely tedious, time-consuming task,
since all the vegetables should be chopped very finely, well minced.
Instructions:
Boil water in a kettle, and dump the dry bulgur/couscous into a bowl, and when the water's boiled, pour over the bulgur/couscous, until there's just enough to cover. Set aside, covered, for at least 20 mins.....after which, fluff it with a fork, and dump into a large mixing bowl, in which you'll make the tabouli. Rinse and drain the canned chick peas, and add to the large mixing bowl. Finely chop (preferably in an electric food chopper) all vegetable and herb ingredients, one by one, and add to the mixing bowl, stirring everything up well as you go. Juice the lemons, and in a jar or similar container with a tight fitting lid, pour the lemon juice, olive oil, and the herb/spice seasoning and pepper, and shake vigorously until well mixed.....then pour over the ingredients in the mixing bowl, and stir in well.
Ready to serve! Suggestion.....serve on a bed of lettuce and/or spinach leaves.
Way too delicious!!! YUMMM!!!!!
