From the kitchen of Ann Marie Barkwell.
Tabouli originated in Syria and Lebanon. It is
very popular in the Middle East. The
Lebanese use more parsley than bulgur
wheat. Traditionally served with Romaine
lettuce, it can be eaten chilled or at room
temperature. I like it best after it sets a few
hours.

Notes:
I put a flour tortilla in
the toaster, cut it into
wedges then top with
tabouli.

I like tabouli in a pita
with hummus.
