Tabbouleh Recipe • A Middle East Favorite! | Club Foody

 

When I was a child, I loved listening to elderly 👵👨‍🦳 people talk about their lives and experiences, comparing their past with the actual present. To me, it was a lively talking book – perhaps this is how audiobooks started. I never got bored listening because I was learning from them through their stories. They provided me with an opportunity to see the world from another time and another perspective. That was better than any library in the world!
 
Things never changed as I grew up and became an adult. Meeting new people with different backgrounds was always interesting. Through the places I lived, I’ve met so many captivating individuals from all around the world 🌏 who shared a part of themselves. By talking about their lifestyles, customs, and so on, one common thing they all had was the desire to make sure I tasted their food. I haven’t met anyone who wasn’t eager to share with me the dishes they grew up with. That is when I realized that food was one of the most important factors in anyone’s life.
 
While living in Toronto, I met a man who was originally from Lebanon. We became good friends, and like the other great people I’ve met throughout my life, he shared some of the foods 🧆 he grew up with me. This is how I discovered Levantine cuisine. These flavorful Middle Eastern dishes were deliciously different from any other cuisine.
 
Richard, my Lebanese friend, showed me how to cook and prepare 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 many of his favorite recipes, such as Falafel, Tabbouleh, Baba Ghanoush, Kofta, Labneh, Ma’amoul Cookies, Tahini Paste that I use for making my Creamy Tahini Sauce, Hummus, and many more! He eventually met a lady, and we drifted apart… that’s life!
 
Since then, I’ve been making many flavorful Levantine dishes. As I never really wrote 📝 any recipes down before Club Foody, I realized that I should have. After a few mistakes here and there, I was finally able to make a few of the dishes I learned from Richard. I’m sure there was a slight change to them. My version of Tabbouleh might be different from Richard’s, but nonetheless, it’s very tasty!
 
This incredible Tabbouleh recipe is perfect for vegetarians and vegans because the dish consists of parsley, bulgur, mint, tomatoes, onions 🧅, and is seasoned with lemon juice 🍋 and oil.
 
Not only flavorful but also healthy 💚, this dish is perfect to serve as a side dish alongside any protein. I like to treat it like a salad, although I’m not too sure if it is in the culinary world. Salad or not, this is an amazing recipe you will want to keep around…
Bon Appétit!🍽
