Ingredients

1/3 cup fine bulgur wheat

4 large bunches flat-leaf parsley (about 4 cups finely chopped)

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint

4 ripe Roma tomatoes, finely diced

4 green onions, finely sliced

1/4 cup lemon juice, plus more to taste

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

3/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

pinch of allspice (optional)

romaine leaves, to serve

Steps

Rinse the bulgur, cover with the lemon juice and the juice from the diced tomatoes, and let soak 15 minutes until tender.

Wash and dry the parsley very well. Remove thick stems and chop the leaves finely with a sharp knife.

Combine the parsley, mint, tomatoes, green onions and soaked bulgur in a large bowl.

Add the olive oil, salt, pepper and allspice and toss well. Taste and add more lemon or salt.

Serve within an hour, with romaine leaves for scooping.

TipDry the parsley completely before chopping; wet herbs bruise into a soggy mash instead of fluffy green flecks.
