parsley
tomatoes
fresh mints
lemon juice
fine bourghol "it's like couscous" or cracked wheat
onion
olive oil
salt and pepper

Parsley: a bunch of parsley differs in size from a country to another, in Lebanon it is big enough, and in Paris I saw them so little. So let’s say we need a quantity of finely chopped parsleys “with no stems” filling about 5 normal size tea cups.

Tomatoes: 3 tea cups of finely chopped tomatoes.

Lemon juice: ½ to ¾ a tea cup

Onion: doesn’t matter if red or white or spring onion, just chop them finely to fill ½ a tea cup.

Fresh mints with no stems, chopped. About ½ cup

Olive oil, for sure it depends on the taste, but a tea cup is enough.

Salt “to taste”

Sweet Pepper or white pepper “1/4 teaspoon”

And finally, ¼ cup of fine cracked wheat, or what we call “bourghol”.

Mix all the ingredients together, put them in refrigerator for 30 minutes maximum.

After that it has to be eaten fresh, with Romaine lettuce, grape leaves, or white cabbage.

Fill each leave with Tabboulé and eat it, bon appétit!

N.B. we usually prepare Tabboulé, French fries and barbecues on Sundays.
