Method

  1. Prep

    Soak bulgur

    Cover bulgur with boiling water, cover and soak 15 minutes. Drain and squeeze dry.

    Why: Fine bulgur needs no cooking โ€” just soaking.

  2. Prep

    Chop herbs

    Finely chop parsley and mint โ€” they should dominate the bowl.

    Why: Traditional tabbouleh is mostly herb, not mostly grain.

  3. Prep

    Combine

    Mix bulgur, herbs, tomatoes, spring onions, oil, lemon and salt. Rest 15 minutes.

Chef's tip

Use a mezzaluna or food processor for the herbs if chopping by hand feels endless.
