Sadly too many are bastardised!so, i'm glad that at least some people take care into doing it right & sharing that kmowledge with others...so, thank u. I'd just like to ask you about tabbouleh about the coarseness of the grain...you mention grade 3-4, i can only find thin, medium & coarse. I thought medium was ok, but since you mention coarse, maybe the coarsest is best?(most recipes suggest small!). Thanks in advance & nice meeting you through your blog!Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16859980574768117616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-72160857720483456662010-04-10T08:49:53.297-05:002010-04-10T08:49:53.297-05:00Dear Mercedes,
As a Lebanese lady making taboule ...Dear Mercedes,<br /><br />As a Lebanese lady making taboule at least once a week i have to congratulate you not only on your recipe but on the way you take it step by step describing exactly how the parsley should be cut, the important hint I would add is, when you cut the parsley (mint also)it should NOT be wet, cut it first then wash it, I personally wash it in a very fine sieve let water run over it very generously and let water drain for at least half an hour. I know some people who wash it in bunches, hang it over night to dry then cut it. Also you can preserve cut parsley up to 10 days, line up your container with kitchen paper, put shopped parsley, cover with kitchen paper & close tightly your container, finally we do not soak burgul in hot water as we like it crunchy & we mix taboule the last minute before we eat it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10662249988331611139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-13837465858338389042010-03-21T12:02:58.435-05:002010-03-21T12:02:58.435-05:00For the record, the Lebanese restaurants here in t...For the record, the Lebanese restaurants here in the New Orleans area seem to be doing it right: mostly parsley, little bulgur. However, when I set out to buy bulgur to make my own, I found that those boxes labeled "tabboule mix" that you make reference to can contain a myriad of other ingredients (parsley and mint, but also molasses?!?) so beware, and read labels! I had to visit a second store before I found organic bulgur in bins for sale by the pound.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15070833947795258706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-10773074695017357332009-01-24T12:43:00.000-05:002009-01-24T12:43:00.000-05:00I've never been able to get the mint and lemon amo...I've never been able to get the mint and lemon amounts right...thank you so much for the measurements!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-62234770152995529782008-05-26T13:43:00.000-05:002008-05-26T13:43:00.000-05:00this recipe is great i tried it out and at the end...this recipe is great i tried it out and at the end felt it needed a little sweetness so i added 1 large white onion, finely chopped, and it was a great addition.

Nor have I seen it with flat leaf. But then again, I live in the U.S. and there aren't a lot of Lebanese in San Diego. I have always enjoyed this salad and used to make it often. It's been a long while since I've made it and next time I do, I'm trying your recipe. It looks scrumptious!Ani L.
