Recipe - Tabouli

I'm a big fan of Tabouli and really like this recipe - it makes a small batch because I much prefer it fresh. 

 

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup dried cracked wheat (bourghul)

1 cup water

1/2 tomato, de-seeded and diced small

1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

5-6 mint leaves, chopped fine

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/4 onion, diced

1/2 tsp crushed garlic (in jar)

Pepper to taste

METHOD

Put the cracked wheat and the water into a bowl and stir occasionally, leaving it for about an hour.  

Drain off any unabsorbed water and add the other ingredients to the bowl, mixing well.
