Tabbouleh! Finally!

One of my most absolute favorite things to buy at Trader Joe’s is their Tabbouleh.  Lately though, they said they can’t get the right supplier and for the past 6 months, no tabbouleh at Trader Joe’s 😦  So, I decided to make my own, even though I failed a couple years ago – this one tastes perfect!  yay!

• 1/2 cup uncooked bulgur
• 2 cups of chicken or vegetable stock
• 2-3 cups of chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley, loosely packed
• 1/2 cup of chopped mint
• 1/4 cup of chopped scallions
• 2-3 roma tomatoes, cored and chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp salt

DIRECTIONS:

In a large bowl, pour 2 cups of boiling water (or chicken stock) over the bulgur. Let it sit for 30-60 minutes until softened, and then strain the bulgur through a fine-mesh strainer.

Then combine the prepared bulgur, parsley, mint, scallions, and tomatoes in a large bowl. Add oil and lemon juice, and stir until well mixed. Add salt to taste.

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to one day.
