What exactly is Taboulie? I'm looking at couscous recipes and they keep popping up.

tabouli is a middeleastern mostley labanes salad it is very yumy i always make it .






Delicious Middle Eastern salad or appetizer.


3 cups of finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup of finely chopped fresh mint
4 or 5 finely chopped spring onions (with the green parts)
4 ripe, medium size tomatoes, chopped into small cubes
1 cup of medium burghul (cracked wheat)
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 jalapeno pepper, de-seeded, chopped fine (optional)
5 TBS good olive oil
Salt and Pepper

Chef's knife, chopping board, mixing bowl

Rinse burghul several times and then soak in cold water for about twenty minutes.

Chop the tomatoes (small dice).

Clean the parsley and remove the large stems (you want mostly leaves). Chop fine.

Put the burghul in a sieve to drain.

Trim the spring onions, and chop them into 1/4" lengths.

Put the drained burghul and tomato in a large mixing or serving bowl. Add salt, pepper, allspice, lemon juice, olive oil, mint, parsley, and optional minced jalapeno.

Taste for seasoning. If too dry, you can add additional lemon juice.

Toss well. Tabouli benefits from resting - you can cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave in the refrigerator for a few hours or over night, tossing occasionally.

Serve with cabbage or lettuce leaves - scoop some tabouli into a leaf and enjoy!

It's basically a parsley salad I don't like it.

Don't either esp. when prepared by the French. The tiny good taste it has disappears...

Parsley has a strong taste, it's nice to season dishes but not as a main ingredient
