Lebanese Tabbouleh: An Authentic Recipe for This Month
Discover the traditional recipe for Lebanese Tabbouleh, a timeless classic of Levantine cuisine.
Lebanese cuisine is full of fresh, healthy and tasty dishes, and tabbouleh is probably one of its most famous gems. This refined blend of parsley, mint, tomatoes and bulgur, seasoned with lemon juice and olive oil, is a real explosion of flavors in the mouth. Light and refreshing, it goes wonderfully with grilled meats or can be enjoyed as a starter.
In this article, we offer you an authentic recipe to prepare a tabbouleh like in Lebanon, highlighting ingredients of Lebanese origin that you can find on our online store.
Ingredients for an Authentic Lebanese Tabbouleh
- 3 large bunches of fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 bunch of fresh mint
- 4 ripe tomatoes**
- 1 small onion or 2 green onions
- 50 g of fine bulgur
- The juice of 2 lemons
- 4 tablespoons of Lebanese extra virgin olive oil
- Salt to taste
- A pinch of black pepper or mild spices
Preparation Steps
- Prepare the ingredients:
Wash the parsley and mint thoroughly, then drain them. Finely chop the parsley, keeping only the leaves (avoid the thick stems). Do the same with the mint.
- Cut the vegetables:
Cut the tomatoes into small cubes and finely chop the onion.
- Prepare the bulgur:
Rinse the bulgur in cold water and let it drain. It will then absorb the juices from the vegetables and the lemon for an even tastier result.
- Assemble the tabbouleh:
In a large bowl, combine the parsley, mint, tomatoes, and onion. Add the bulgur, then season with the lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
- Serve and enjoy:
Let the tabbouleh rest for 5 to 10 minutes in a cool place before serving. This time allows the bulgur to absorb the flavors and the salad to be even more fragrant.
