Tabbouleh

[Guest guest]

I believe I'm the only vegetarian who can't stand it. I detest mint.

I never tried to make it since the few times I tried it the flavor just didn't

set with me.

Wonder if I could make it with cilantro. There's an idea.

I like mint, but don't care for it in tabbouleh, either. I don't think the

Palestinian family I worked for put mint in their tabbouleh. The only thing

they made that I never developed a taste for -- baba ganoush (sp?). I don't

know if it's the texture or what. They made the best hummus, though...

Donna,

    I think I've eaten it without mint and have also made it without mint

(because I didn't have mint; I had only fresh parsley for the " leafy " part of

the salad.  I think it must be like hummus--a basic recipe that most people

recognize as " it " and then many variations that can be made that are also " real "

tabbouleh.  I wonder if cilantro would be pretty strong-flavored, but fresh

parsley is nice alone.  Now, personally, I would also try it with both parsley

and fresh chopped celery leaves.  Another flavor that might be good with

it--though I've never tried this,either, might be fresh dill weed chopped into

the mix.

 

     I've eaten Tabouleh that did or didn't have some of the added vegetables: 

I have seen it with and without chopped cucumber and/or choped, seeded tomato

pieces in it.  Try making it without the mint and you might really like it!

 

Best wishes and peace!
