Tabouli or Tabouleh?

You are here: Home / Blog / Tabouli or Tabouleh?

No matter how you spell it, it is still the same yummy goodness of tomatoes, parsley, mint, bulgar wheat, onions, green onions, olive oil and lemon juice.

And it is oh-so-good!

I am sorry to say that this is one of those recipes that I cannot share.

It’s a family secret.

But I can tell you what is in it. As a matter of fact, I already have… just a few lines up. We also add kosher salt and cayenne. Can’t tell you how much though….

We used Creole tomatoes. It’s the season for Creoles, and they are my favorite variety of tomatoes. Love ’em!

By the way, my favorite cayenne comes in a medicine bottle! It is made from peppers grown about an hour away from my house. Good stuff!

Here it is before the olive oil was added:

Yummy!

Do you have any secret family recipes? Please don’t reveal your secret to me, but tell me which dishes.

Don’t believe in secret family recipes? Let me know that too!

Oh, and if you haven’t had tabouleh in a while… you really need to get some! It is the perfect summer salad!

Bon appetit!

      Yep. Family secret… which is why I don’t give it away! There are a few like that… family recipes. Like our recipe for boiled crawfish. I can’t give that one away. I would be disowned!

    I don’t believe in family recipes, because the recipe ends up dying with the person who hordes it. and When i die , i don;t want my dying words to be ,,, ” the secret ingredient is ….. clunk” .

    Far East pre packaged mix is great if you can find it.

    Secret family recipes is there something like this? Any recipe cooked by two different persons turns out differently, gets a very personal signature and depends very much on what ingredients are available. Even every time one person repeats this recipe it still will vary slightly, being influenced by mood and distractions. Therefore the recipe becomes a secret each time all over again 😉 Check out our old and new inspired recipes shared under http://www.easy-healthy-recipes-for-kids.com
