I have a Lebonese friend Varhtoui and when we were at hers for a bbq we fell in love with these two salads of hers

I have now made both of these 100s of times



Tabbouleh

Ingredients

Flat leaf Parsley ..Chopped .equal to 10 small bunches from coles although I grow mine or go to fruit shop and buy bulk, they usually have like 10 small bunches together for $6.00

2 bunches of mint the size you get from coles and chop

1/2 cup Burghul ... found in coles and woolworths

3 Tomatoes finely chopped

1 red onion finely chopped

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup fresh lemom juice

METHOD

1. Put the burghul in a small bowl and cover with cold water for about 10 minutes or still it goes soft, then strain in a fine strainer or just squeeze the water out

2. In a bowl combine mint, parsley, tomatoes,onion and burghul..

3. Combine oil and lemon and whisk with a fork then pour over Tabbouleh

store in a container with lid. Will last in fridge for around 3 days

recipe can be halved but remember when parsley and mint is chopped it shrinks.

you find if you add 2 very thinly chopped cucumbers that makes the dish

We have a Lebanese background and these two recipes are firm favourites in our household. The traditional way of eating Tabbouleh is by washing large lettuce leaves (separated from the stalk) and placing heaped tablespoons of Tabbouleh in the leaf - roll it up (over a plate as it can be very messy) and tuck it !

We are from a Greek background and love both of these. It's unbelievable what the spice sumac adds to the salad dressing for Fatoush

So do I darling I make them all the time...try adding the cucumbers it will make difference.
A other way toast lebanese bread and pick taboulie with it as well as lettuce leafs.
My parents come from near cedars of lebanon

I stated cucumbers in the recipe thinly sliced and lebonese bread.
I'm guessing like Greece things are made differently in different parts of the country
My other lebonese friend Armani makes fatoush like I do and she comes from a different area than my friend who originally gave me these recipes

Or are you saying add cucumbers to the tabouleh

To the taboulie

To the taboulie

Each to their own but I would never add cucumbers to tabouleh

Thanks for these, they sound yummy. Will try them come summer. At the moment it's soup weather for us. Even though we're in FNQ it's cold to us LOL.

 

[Babybird]

Fatouch is nice now the garlic brings up the heat....it's healthy keeps cold away to it has antibodies.like honey

Love the look and sound of these Suzanne rose , now I just need to think of something to call them, the sound of the word "Salad"is enough for my husband to declare he is not hungry. I am married to a spoilt child.

I think I've heard you say that before . Maybe say a bowl of Goodness

I probably have said it before, trying to feed my spoilt child is enough to stop me from cooking for him all together. Unless I am refering to say bacon and eggs or sausage and mash as a bowl of goodness he will not buy it let alone eat it

He sounds like my brother I don't know how his wife puts up with him

Maybe add cooked bacon to the Fatoush . Or maybe go on strike and tell him your not going to cook until he eats what you choose. It's probably his mums fault

Between a rock and a hard place on that one! If I don't cook he will and that is the stuff of nightmares for me, The kitchen looks like a war zone, the mess he creates means hours of extra cleaning for me, let alone the too much salt and chilli he puts into the food which I then cannot eat. Take away is not an option either apart from budget constraints we do not have any take away food places closer than 50km away. I could quite easily strangle him in his sleep to be honest, sigh

Two worthy recipes to bump up
