Tabbouleh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tabbouleh (Arabic: تبولة; also tabouli, tabouleh) is a Middle Eastern salad dish, often used as part of a mezze. Its primary ingredients are bulgur, finely chopped parsley, mint, tomato, scallion spring onion, and other herbs with lemon juice and various seasonings, generally including black pepper and sometimes cinnamon and allspice. In Lebanon, where the dish is generally assumed to have originated, it is often eaten by scooping it up in Romaine lettuce leaves.
Tabouli is also popular in Brazil, due to Lebanese immigrants who settled there.
In the United States, tabouli is sometimes used as a dip.
The largest recorded bowl of tabbouleh was made on June 9, 2006 in Ramallah, West Bank[1]. The previous record was set on February 24, 2001 in Qurnet Shahwan, Lebanon. It weighed 1,514 kilograms and earned a Guinness World Record[2].
