Do you use bulgur wheat in your recipe?

Yes! Bulgur is authentic. I started making tabbouleh with couscous, which is a nice substitute. But bulgur is the right grain.

Bob's Red Mill dry uncooked bulgur is available in most mainstream grocery stores in the U.S.

My tabbouleh recipe based on recipes I have seen on the internet (they are all basically the same):

Makes 2 medium entree size portions or 1 large entree portion, or 4 side portions.

1 bunch flat parsley, stems removed, finely chopped
1 bunch fresh mint leaves (same quantity as parsley), stems removed, finely chopped
1 bunch green (spring) onions, white parts chopped
1 lemon, juiced
1 medium sized tomato, diced
1/3 cup dry bulgur, cooked
salt
freshly ground black pepper
EVOO

Cook bulgur at least 1 hour ahead of time to be sure the water is fully absorbed. I use 1 part bulgur and 2 parts water. It's OK to use less water which results in a firmer bulgur. Mushy bulgur is not good. Combine dry bulgur, water and some salt, cover and bring to a boil, turn off heat and let rest for 1 hour.

Combine veggies and cooked bulgur in a large bowl. Season with S&P, EVOO and lemon juice, and toss well.

Additional seasoning with cumin, coriander, cumin and coriander, or sumac is optional. Sumac is subtle and has a different sensation than cumin and coriander so I generally do not combine sumac with other seasonings besides S&P.

Can be garnished with pepperoncini and olives, for example.

Serve as an entree with grilled flatbread, or as a side with kebab, or with any grilled meat.

Spaghetti and lardons sautéed with onions, garlic and thyme. With freshly grated Gruyere. Easy and good!

Hey M_six, no, grinder and fries came from my local pizza place. I like egg plant fries, but the wife more so than me. They came with her California wrap... I stole a few ...

Ham and mash potatoes. Growing-up this used to be a traditional Sunday dinner when both my parents were home from assignments.
