Two Tabouli Recipes
Tabouli, green on the left, red on the right
This is me goofing around (and cleaning out the refrigerator). One is mostly green and the other mostly red ingredients, with the exception of the parsley and mint (I haven’t seen these herbs in red yet). I also wanted to use a habanero in tabouli, and realized I better make a mild version in case Liz doesn’t like the hot version.
Be careful chopping the chile. Avoid touching the cut surfaces to keep from getting Hunan hand (something I did not do).

Tabouli for Irene
Tabouli
As I’m making tabouli, I’m thinking that my mother in law, Irene likes most of the ingredients. This is an attempt to Taylor a batch to her tastes. Since she likes celery, I’m replacing the raw onion with 3 stalks. I’m also increasing the parsley and putting a little olive oil in it. And I reduced the raw garlic to one clove.
Tabouli
1/2 cup bulgur
1 cup cold water
1 cucumber, peeled and diced
2 plum tomatoes, diced
3 stalks celery, diced small
1 clove garlic, mashed
Big bunch parsley, chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt
Pepper
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Irene liked it.

Bulgur is what tabouli is traditionally made with.
I am keeping the olive oil on the side to allow Liz to control the amount she puts in.

Juice of 1 lemon
