Tea time tabouleh

Tabouleh salad with grilled chicken

Food blog + gluttonous tendencies = expanding waistline.

TWO extra belt holes since Christmas to be exact.

Time for a lighter diner me thinks - tabouleh and griddled chicken.

nice sweet tomatoes - hooray

Butterflied chicken grilling away nicely

Tabouleh - serves 2

80g bulgar wheat

80g flat leaf parsley (aka a massive bunch)

the leaves from a few stalks of mint, finely chopped

4 finely cut spring onions

handful of nice tomatoes, in small cubes

juice of 2 lemons

very, very good glug of olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

Pour salted boiling water over the bulgar wheat and leave for 10-15 mins.

Its nice when there is still a little texture to the grain i.e. don’t nuke it.

Drain, the run some cold water over the grain to chill it.

Add the cooked bulgar wheat to the other ingredients.

Stir and serve.

Enjoy.
