So .. summer is finally here and if any of you are like me that practically means living in the garden and eating barbecued food. Yum! One of the foods that I have always loved is Tabbouleh.
I first sampled this tasty dish when I lived in Nice, France when I was on my sandwich year (why does everything I do tend to involve food in some way or other?) many moons ago now. I used to be able to buy it from Carrefour in a bulgur wheat and tin of juices twin-set. Hey, I was a student and things in packets and tins were great, especially when being "Continental". It really was sooo good, tasty, zingy and refreshing.
It's been a dish I have tried relentless to recreate and get "just right". Trust me, I've made many a version of this with different grains, combinations of vegetables, herbs and spices. There are so many recipes out there for Tabbouleh as it's eaten predominantly in Arab countries, Cyprus, Turkey .. well you get the picture!
So what I offer you here is my take on what essentially is a simple recipe. It's quick to make, very tasty, perfect for summer lunches and best of all .... free on the Extra Easy or Green Slimming world plans.
Cooks note: this really is best made with bulgur wheat instead of couscous, the texture is just much better.
