Unlike the Lebanese Tabbouleh, this tabbouleh has more semolina. It is a fresh recipe, easy to prepare and very healthy in the sense that the ingredients are mostly herbs and vegetables and there is very little fat. Like all my other recipes, it’s scalable, but here’s the basics.
Oriental tabbouleh with wheat semolina and fresh condiments
Ingredients
1 bunch of parsley
1/2 pack of mint
1/2 bunch cilantro
250 grams of semolina
1 handful raisins
1 large tomato
1 small tomato
1 teaspoon harissa
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large squeezed whole lemon
1/2 red onion
2 pinches paprika
1 knob of butter
Instructions
Cut all the ingredients finely. For onion and tomato, it is necessary to make a brunoise. The cutting of aromatic herbs must be quite coarse.
Heat the same amount of water as semolina. Ex: 250g semolina, 250ml water.
When the water boils, add the semolina and remove it from the heat.
Stir gently with a fork and add a knob of butter and paprika. Then put a lid.
Prepare in a bowl the seasoning by adding the lemon, olive oil, salt, pepper, harissa and juice as well as the pulp of the small tomato.
When the semolina has cooled, mix everything and leave in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Then mix the preparation of the herbs and vegetables with the semolina and sauce.
Enjoy!
