Lebanese Tabouli

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1 cucumber, diced
several roma tomatos, diced (remove seeds if your not lazy)
Parsley, finely choped 1/2 to 3/4 cup
1/2 cup bulghur wheat
1 or 2 green onion(s)
Lemon juice
Olive oil
allspice (optional)
cinnamon (optional)
salt

Directions:

The middle eastern dish Tabouli uses bulghur wheat. Its an excellent hot day side dish. My recipe is from the Lebanese side of the family. All mesurements are to taste -- I'm not wild about too much parsley so I use smaller amounts.

Pour hot water over the bughur and let soak until soft and most of the water has been absorbed. Mix the diced vegies by hand then add the bulghur and mix some more. add lemon juice and olive oil to get the right flavor and consistency. Add the spice(s) and salt and mix a bit more. Refrigerate, eat and enjoy.

Hi, Whats allspice? Thanks Santosh

Allspice is a mixture of spices. You buy it already mixed (kind of like pumpkin pie spice). Some natural food stores carry it in bulk, too.

all spice is from the all spice tree it was discovered in the caribian by early explorers - it was no doubt named allspice because it has a taste of several spices mixed.

I recently had my first tabouli in a Lebanese restaurant and am anxious to make my own - it is so easy and so good for you!

Adding lots of ground cumin to this is a real taste enhancer.
