The tabouleh was easy to handle and tasted great in a lettuce wrap. My children love this as finger food, too. Here’s the recipe:
1 cup bulghur wheat (I like Alma extra fancy cracked wheat)
2 1/4 cups cold water
1 1/2 cups chopped parsley
4 chopped green onions
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
twist of freshly ground black pepper
2 tomatoes (I found two perfect tomatoes on the vine)
8 large rinsed lettuce leaves for wrapping (leave these whole)
Soak bulghur in cold water. Mix olive oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Chop remaining ingredients. After 30-40 minutes, check bulghur. If water is absorbed, fold in all ingredients and olive oil/lemon mixture. Chill one hour. Spoon on to lettuce leaves. Musta’ ada! Ready to serve.
