Tabbouleh is a light, fresh Lebanese dish traditionally made with bulgur wheat. This version uses brown rice and is full of nutritious vegetables!
Ingredients
| 150g | brown rice |
| 1/2 | cucumber, chopped |
| 2 | medium tomatoes, chopped |
| 1/2 | red onion, finely chopped |
| 1 | large garlic clove, crushed |
| 1 | lemon, zest and juice |
| 2 tbsps | olive oil |
| mint and parsley, finely chopped, handful | |
| salt, to taste |
Method
- Begin by bringing a pan of water to the boil and adding your rice. Use a 2:1 ratio of water to rice. Reduce to a simmer and cook for approx. 15 minutes until soft and tender.
- Meanwhile, chop the veg and herbs, then combine with all other ingredients listed above into a large mixing bowl.
- When the rice is cooked, drain and rinse thoroughly under a cold tap to cool then leave to stand.
- Finally, add the cooled rice and mix everything together! Serve and enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
Chef’s tips
Replace the rice with bulgur wheat or cauliflower rice for a different take on the dish. Add chickpeas to turn the dish into more of a meal.
