Tabbouleh

Niki Segnit tried to convince me to add more parsley to my tabbouleh. She likes a 5:1 ratio of parsley to everything else. I tried.... but it just tasted too much of parsley to me! My preferred proportions are below:


Ingredients:

• 75g cracked wheat
• 1 large bunch parsley, chopped
• 1 small bunch mint, chopped
• 5 tomatoes, diced
• 1 spring onion, finely chopped (I'm not a big fan of onions)
• 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
• juice of 1 lemon
• salt to taste

Pour 1/2 cup of boiling water over the cracked wheat; cover and allow to rehydrate for 10-15 minutes. Combine everything else together, then add the cracked wheat when it has cooled. Best served topped with a couple of BBQ'd lamb chops!
