Tabouleh - Middle Eastern Bulgar Wheat Salad

Here's how to make Tabouleh, a Middle Eastern favourite

Ingredients

• 3 cups of flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup of mint, roughly chopped
• 2 spring onions, finely chopped
• 1/4 brown onion, very finely diced
• 4 medium sized tomatoes, finely diced
• 100g of coarse burghul or cracked wheat
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 4 tbs olive oil
• Salt and Pepper
• Pinch of cayenne

Method

• Soak the burghul wheat over night and drain in a sieve the following morning. This allows the wheat to drain off most the excess moisture.
  
• Mix all of the ingredients together and adjust seasoning to taste. It should be salty and tart with a hint of heat.
