Tabbouleh de abuela

You will need:
  • 2 cups fine bulgur
  • 4tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup boiling-hot water
  • 2 cups finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (from 3 bunches)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint
  • 3 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 1/2 seedless cucumber, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon of cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder

This is what you do:

Stir together bulgur and 1 tablespoon oil in a heatproof bowl. Pour boiling water over, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand 1  hour. Drain in a sieve, pressing on bulgur to remove any excess liquid.

Transfer bulgur to a bowl and toss with remaining ingredients, including 3 tablespoons oil, until combined well.

Chill for 1 hour to blend the flavors, before serving to add an extra tablespoon of olive oil and toss again.
