Tabule Fast2eat Recipe

Tabule Fast2eat Recipe

Tabule (also Tabbouleh, tabbouleh or tab(b)ouli) is a vegetarian dish (sometimes considered a salad) made of Bulgar, tomatoes, finely chopped fresh mint, parsley, green onion, and onion, all tossed and seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt.

I grew up with this recipe, and I love it, but feel free to make your own variations. Some possible variations: add cucumber, garlic or lettuce, or use couscous or quinoa instead of Bulgar.

Tabule Fast2eat Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Wait time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Tabule is a vegetarian dish (sometimes considered a salad) made of Bulgar, tomatoes, finely chopped fresh mint, parsley, green onion, and onion, all tossed and seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt.
Servings: 8 people

Ingredients

  • 250 g Bulgur wheat - (1 1/3 cup) extra fine ground (not coarse)
  • 4 Tomato - finely-diced
  • 1 Onion - chopped
  • Green onion - chopped
  • Parsley - chopped
  • Basil - chopped
  • Mint - chopped
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil - extra virgin
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice - or lime juice
  • 1/2 tbsp Salt

Instacart is available in the US only at the moment.

Instructions

  • In a Bowl soak the bulgur wheat in water, cover and let stand for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
  • Add the onion, mint, parsley and basil to a Food Processor and pulse until grated.
  • Drain the Bulgur pressing well to eliminate any excess water
  • Remove the seeds and chop the tomatoes, and green onions using a sharp Knife. Be sure to use firm tomatoes. Once chopped, place the tomatoes in a Colander or Strainer to drain excess juice.
  • I don’t use but if using cucumbers use the English Cucumbers or If you choose to use the American cucumbers, be sure to remove the skin; cut the cucumber in halves and remove most of the seeds then proceed to chop.
  • Place the chopped vegetables, herbs and green onions in a Mixing Bowl or dish. Add the bulgur and mix gently.
  • Add the the Lemon Juice and olive oil and mix again.
  • Add the salt just before eat, salt will cause tomatoes to release their juices and you may need to drain some of the juice out.
  • Serve the tabule over fresh lettuce leaves with Baked Kibbeh Fast2eat Recipe or a side of pita and romaine lettuce leaves, which act as wraps or “boats” for the tabule.

Notes

The finer you chop the vegetables, the better.
You can keep tabule refrigerated in a tight-lid container for 2-3 days or so. It’s important to refrigerate it with no salt added or you may need to drain some of the juice out before and after refrigerating leftover tabule.

Baked Kibbeh Fast2eat Recipe
It freezes wonderfully so make a big batch and freeze extras for another night. When making it ahead you can freeze the casserole raw, then thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bake. Or bake it ahead, refrigerate for up to two days or freeze, then reheat in the oven, thawed.
