Lebanese Tabbouleh


The recipe for an exceptionally refreshing Lebanese tabbouleh!



Ingredients:

Half a cup of fine bulgur
Olive oil
A medium-sized bunch (bouquet) of fresh flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
Some freshly chopped fresh mint (Hortela)
A very small white onion (finely chopped too)
3 medium tomatoes (preferably coracao de boi), cut into small pieces
A small fresh lettuce (letucia romana)
One fresh lemon( only the juice is needed)
1/4 of a teaspoon of salt

Preparations:

Carefully chop the lettuce leaves with the parsley after thoroughly washing them under running water. Transfer the chopped lettuce and parsley to a bowl and add to them the chopped onions, the tomatoes and the fresh mint. Cover the mixture with bulgur and add the olive oil and the lemon juice on top of the bulgur. Mix a bit at the end.
Use the remaning leaves of the lettuce as ornament.
Bom apetite

Michel
