Tabbouleh is a Middle Eastern vegetarian salad made with chopped parsley, tomatoes, mint, bulgur wheat, and lemon juice.
. I gazed at photos online. I prepared test batches. And what I found was, yes, it can be improved, at least in subtle ways.
You should hand-cut the parsley and mint with a very sharp knife to prevent bruising; a food processor, while tempting for the ease it promises, will result in a beaten, battered, and pulpy salad.Serious Eats / Vicky Wasik Salting the tomatoes, though, turned out not to be enough. The parsley, while much less wet than tomato, has enough of its own water content that, once seasoned with salt, it too will gradually release water into the salad and over-moisten it.To test out if pre-salting the parsley would be helpful, I sprinkled a tablespoon of the chopped herb with salt and let it rest on a paper towel.
The most important thing to know is that it comes in different sizes, from coarse to fine. The good news is that unlike many dried grains, bulgur doesn't need to be cooked in a pot of boiling water. A lot of tabbouleh recipes have you rinse or soak the bulgur in cold water until softened, but what they often fail to tell you is that the cold-soak method only really works for the finer grades.In my tests, coarse bulgur refused to soften even after a couple hours in room temperature water.
