Quantities are auto-calculated from the original recipe as a guide. Items without numbers (e.g. “to taste”) are not changed.
Method 4 steps
Rinse the bulgur and pour the juice of one lemon over it. Leave it to swell for fifteen minutes.
Wash the parsley well in advance and dry it thoroughly — an hour on a cloth is not too much. Strip the thick stems and chop it fine but without pulverising it.
Dice the tomatoes small and salt them separately: the juice they give up goes into the bulgur.
Mix everything with the juice of the second lemon, the oil and the allspice. Let it stand ten minutes before serving.
