Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of bulgur wheat with 1 1/2 cups of water. Let it sit for 30 minutes until the water is absorbed and the bulgur is tender.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the vegetables for 3-4 minutes on each side until they have grill marks and are tender. Remove from the grill and let them cool slightly.
- Once the grilled vegetables are cool enough to handle, chop them into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the cooked bulgur wheat, diced tomatoes, chopped parsley, and chopped mint to the bowl with the grilled vegetables.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the tabbouleh and toss everything together until well combined.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the grilled vegetable tabbouleh at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy!
Tabbouleh, a traditional Middle Eastern salad, has a rich history dating back to the 10th century. Originally from the mountains of Lebanon and Syria, this dish has evolved over time to include various regional variations. The addition of grilled vegetables brings a smoky, charred flavor to the classic recipe, elevating its taste and texture. Renowned chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi have popularized this modern twist on Tabbouleh, incorporating grilled eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers for a delightful depth of flavor. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in upscale Mediterranean restaurants that prioritize fresh, locally sourced ingredients. To achieve the perfect grilled vegetable Tabbouleh, it's crucial to use high-quality olive oil and fresh herbs like parsley and mint. This alternative method of preparing Tabbouleh adds a unique and savory dimension to the traditional dish, making it a must-try for food enthusiasts.
