Ingredients:
4 cups parsley, finely chopped
5 medium-sized tomatoes, finely diced
7 fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
1 medium-sized white onion, finely chopped
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons fine bulgur(cracked wheat)
A dash of allspice
Directions:
Mix the parsley, tomatoes, mint and, onions.
Add the lemon juice, bulgur, olive oil, salt, and spice. Mix well.
Pour onto a serving dish and decorate with cabbage leaves.
Note: Parsley should be dry before cutting. Make sure to use a sharp knife to chop parsley. A sharp knife slices cleanly through the leaves, preserving flavor and avoiding a mushy tabbouleh. A last important factor is to remember that tabbouleh is a way of eating parsley, not bulgur, so bulgur should be very little.
