Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fine bulgur

  • Boiling water

  • 1/2 cup pine nuts
  • 1/2 cup raw almonds

  • 3 medium tomatoes—halved, seeded 
and finely diced

  • 8 cups lightly packed parsley leaves, 
finely chopped (from 
1/2 pound parsley)

  • 1 cup packed mint leaves, finely chopped

  • 1 cup thinly sliced scallions

  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • Kosher salt


How to Make It

Step 1    

In a large heatproof bowl, cover the bulgur with at least 
2 inches of boiling water. Cover and let stand until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain well. 


Step 2    

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°. On a rimmed baking sheet, toast the pine nuts and almonds for about 8 minutes, until lightly browned. Let 
cool. Finely chop the almonds. 


Step 3    

In a large bowl, toss the bulgur with the tomatoes, parsley, mint, scallions, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, pine nuts and almonds. Season the tabbouleh with salt and serve.
