Tabbouleh Salad

Tabbouleh is a dish that originated in the Middle East. It's main ingredient is bulgur.

Bulgur is made from soft wheat kernels that have been cooked, dried and then cracked.

Thus cooking it is simply a matter of rehydration. Bulgur can be use as a breakfast cereal, in soups and of course in the famous salad Tabbouleh.
