We used to always visit Grandpa and Grandma on Sunday nights. Hadn't done that in awhile, but we made it there last night.
So this is Christmas... tabbouleh... brought Grandma a surprise treat for dinner. Here's the recipe:
1 cup fine cracked wheat (bulgur)
4 bunches chopped fine parsley (if bigger bunches, not the small ones)
2 Tbsp. mint (dried)
1 cucumber
4 large red tomatoes (chopped)
1 bunch finely chopped onions (with stems)
Dressing:
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup lemon juice (6 to 8 lemons)
black pepper and salt to taste
Place bulgur wheat in a large bowl. Add water to cover and let stand about one hour or until bulgur has doubled in size and most of the liquid is absorbed. Drain well and squeeze dry - make sure wheat is squeezed, so you get as much water out as possible. Add parsley, mint, dill, green onions, tomatoes and cucumber. Put olive oil, lemon juice, pepper and salt (to taste) in a jar and shake before pouring over salad. I prefer a saltier more lemony version, so just play with ingredients until you have desired taste. You may need to add more salt.
In other news... what in the world???!!!
