What R U Eating ? ~OGH wants to know.....

Ok here goes:

1) take a good handful, something like 1/8 cup or less of bulgur/wheat germ the finely ground kind, and put it in a bowl. Put enough water to just cover the bulgur and let it sit while you prep the rest of the stuff. It needs time to absorb the water and soften up.

2) finely chop up 2 bunches of parsley. If you use more adjust he amounts accordingly. 1-1 1/2 large tomatoes cut into small cubes, 1 medium yellow or Vidalia onion. You can also chop some scallions but not needed. Toss them into the bowl wih the bulgur

3) add salt, lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil to taste. You want enough to leave some juice at the bottom and soak into all the veggies

4) some ppl use a dash of black pepper or allspice. I don't but know many who do. You can also add a bit of pomegranate syrup to it which makes it more Turkish style tabouleh. This is how my mom and I make it. Most my other family make it without or the Syrian style.

5) mix it up well and adjust salt, lemon juice and oil to taste.

thanks bro :).
that's the first recipe ive seen with wheat germ. I added some quinoa to the one I made.
im thinking maybe let it sit overnight to take away some of the strong taste of the onion and parsley.
itll be a work in progress.

My mother and sister use quinoa bc they're on some stupid blood type based diet, sister is also diabetic, but the wheat germ is MUCH much better and traditional. You will not find tabouleh made from quinoa in the Middle East. At least I've yet to see it in any of the counties I've been to. I think the Greeks use couscous but that too just doesn't cut it for me.

I looked up some recipes and found some with quinoa. apparently quinoa is bursting with ecdysteroids, which just might add to my gainz. enough so that some people think it should be looked at in the same way as "doping". theres a thread or two in here about it. they used to, and probably still are, sold as nutritional supplements. I will try the wheat germ though.
