Tabouleh
This version of Tabouleh comes from Ed Amato, one of our CSA customers and a great sicilian cook. A lot of great cooks are very into a "little of this" and then a "pinch of that" so pinning him down on the exact amounts of the ingredients was a challenge. Use his amounts as a guide and let your palate be the final judge on the amounts.
2-3 bunches Parsley, finely chopped
1 bunch green onions, sliced
2-2 1/2c cooked bulgar wheat
1/4 c.Extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons
1-2 sprigs fresh mint
2-3 cloves fresh garlic minced
1 large tomato, diced
1small- medium cucumber, diced
Salt & freshly ground pepper
Put it all in a bowl, tasting as you go. Tasting as you go is the MOST important part in Ed's kitchen. Serve and enjoy
OK, when I was growing up I used to call this "Rock Salad", primarily because my mom used about 4:1 bulgar to parsley. I prefer a 1:1 ratio or even a 1:2, letting the nutty and crunchy bulgar wheat complement the salad instead of be the salad. Ed's version made me a believer.
