TABBOULEH
This is a Syrian appetizer salad. It is somewhat unique
in that the longer it sets (within 2-3 days), the better it
tastes.
12 oz. cracked wheat
I large onion, chopped fine
I large bunch parsley, chopped fine
I½ fresh tomatoes, chopped fine
6 oz. fresh lemon juice
6 oz. salad oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Cook the cracked wheat for 3-5 minutes, or just long
enough to become soft enough to chew. Drain off all excess starch. Add onion, parsley and tomatoes, and mix
well. Add lemon juice and salad oil and stir in well.
Finish up with salt and pepper, and refrigerate for at least
two hours. If you ever get down into the " ,soft wheat"
country (Midwestern U.S.), it calls for a few modifications.
(1) The cracked wheat shouldn't be cooke.d, but should be
soa·k ed long enough to remove the excess starch and to
swe JI until it is edible. (2) The lemon juice and salad
oil should be increased to 8 oz. each.
