Tabbouleh: fell in love with it the 1st time I tasted it. The recipe had huge amounts of chopped fresh parsley and almost as huge amounts of chopped fresh spearmint. The bulgur was drained, but not squeezed dry. That recipe had both vinegar and lemon juice in it - enough liquid to just barely come to the top of the solid ingredients, which included chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, and bulgur, of course. The vinegar and lemon juice, beside flavoring it well, made the salad keep well, if it lasted long enough to be left over. Surprisingly, the fresh parsley and fresh mint seemed to "neutralize" each other and the salad did not taste like either parsley or mint - just like a delicious blending of fresh flavors and the nutlike taste of the bulgur. Would love to know

how many vitamins it would have! Bread.Baker
