Tabbouleh

Homemade spiced tabbouleh

Ingredients (serves 4 to 6):

250 g medium-grain couscous

1 sachet of tabbouleh spices

3 tomatoes

1 cucumber

1 pepper (optional)

1 small red onion

The juice of 2 lemons

6 tablespoons of olive oil

A few fresh mint leaves

Fresh parsley

Salt (if required)

Method:

Pour the couscous into a large mixing bowl.

Add the sachet of tabbouleh spices and mix.

Drizzle with the lemon juice and olive oil.

Dice the tomatoes, cucumber, pepper and onion into small cubes, then stir them into the couscous.

Add the finely chopped parsley and mint.

Mix thoroughly to distribute the flavours evenly.

Cover and leave to rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours so that the couscous absorbs the juices and spices.

Give it a final stir before serving well chilled

💡 The chef’s tip:

For an even more fragrant tabbouleh, add a few raisins or some diced green apple for a touch of freshness and originality.
