Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw bulgur wheat (250 mL)
• 1/2 tsp. sea salt (2 mL) (optional)
• 1-1/4 cups boiling pure Water (310 mL)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint (60 mL)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (60 mL)
• 1 cup diced English cucumber (250 mL)
• 1 cup diced tomato (250 mL)
• 1/2 cup diced red onion (125 mL)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (60 mL)
• 1/4 cup flax seed oil (60 mL)
• 3-4 drops Tabasco sauce
• Pepper to taste

Preparation:

1. Place bulgur (and salt) in a bowl. Pour boiling water over the wheat and stir well. Set aside for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until Water is completely absorbed and the bulgur is tender.
2. Add mint, parsley, cucumber, tomato and red onion to the cooked bulgur and stir well.
3. Mix the garlic, lemon juice, oil and Tabasco sauce and shake until well blended. Pour over bulgur and toss well.
4. Tabouli is best when it is allowed to stand and cool for several hours; be sure to keep it refrigerated so that the oil does not spoil.
