Tabbouleh
From BlogJordan
Tabbouleh (Arabic: تبولة; also Tabouleh or Tabouli) is a Middle Eastern salad dish, often used as part of a mezze. Its primary ingredients are
- bulgur,
- finely chopped parsley,
- mint,
- tomato,
- scallion (spring onion), and
- other herbs
Often stirred with lemon juice and various seasonings, generally including black pepper and sometimes cinnamon and allspice. In Syria and in Lebanon, where the dish originated, it is often eaten by scooping it up in Romaine lettuce leaves.
Tabbouleh is also popular in Brazil and in the Dominican Republic (where it is known as tipili), due to Mediterranean Arab immigrants who settled there.
In the United States, tabbouleh is sometimes served as a dip.
