Tabouleh/ Tabouli

1 large bunch or 3 small bunches parsley
2 tomatoes
3 green onions
2 tablespoons dry mint
1/4 cup Burgul(cracked wheat)
1 or 2 lemons juiced
1/3 cup olive oil
salt to taste
1 tablespoon diced white onion

How2:
Note: Tabouleh is one of those recipes you can make to your likening some like more lemon some more oil.So you may take this basic recipe and tweak it.

In a large bowl wash the burgul (cracked wheat) don't over rinse just once is fine and strain.
to the cracked wheat add lemon juice.
Dice the tomatoes small and top the lemon and burgul  (cracked wheat) with it. what will happen is as you layer the burgul (cracked wheat)will soak up the lemon and juices and soften.
Dice the green onions as well and add this to the bowl, followed by the mint.
Finely chop the parsley. A tip is to get the bunch together a bit at a time.
cut the stems off then  finely chop the greens. repeat until the whole bunch is done.
add to the bowl.
To continue depends on when you want to serve this. I mix it when I am going to serve it.
Add oil, and salt mix well. taste as you mix adjust it to your liking.
Serve with lettuce.
Enjoy!!
