Tabbouleh
Tabbouleh is a Levantine dish traditionally made with bulgur, tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh mint, parsley, onion, and lemon juice. It is typically seasoned with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
The dish is believed to have originated in the mountains of Lebanon and Syria, and it is a popular meze in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, and Iraq. It is also popular in other Levantine countries, such as Egypt and Israel.
The word "tabbouleh" is derived from the Arabic word "taabil", which means "to season" or "to spice".
Advice
When making tabbouleh, it is important to use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Start by soaking the bulgur wheat in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Then chop the fresh vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and parsley, into small pieces. Use a generous amount of fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper for the dressing, and mix everything together. Finally, add some fresh mint leaves, if desired, to give the dish a refreshing taste. Enjoy your delicious tabbouleh!
