Arabic Food

I agree that I wasn’t very active on this blog, but I have some good news that we’ll be moving very soon to a better website and certainly more recipes and forum to discuss Arabic food in general. Today I wanted to introduce a very known Lebanese food called “Tabbouleh”. The most famous Lebanese salad, made of parsley, tomato, mint and burghul. The recipe serves 5 persons and took about 40 minutes for preparation.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup burghul, fine cracked wheat
• 2 cups finely chopped parsley
• 1/2 kg (16 oz) firm red tomatoes, washed and finely chopped
• 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt (as desired)
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• a dash of all spice (as desired)
