Hello dear readers! Today I will share a very special recipe with you: Broccoli Tabbouleh. We are giving a modern twist to traditional tabbouleh by putting broccoli in the spotlight. It's perfect for those looking for a healthy and delicious option! In this recipe, broccoli accompanies bulgur with fresh parsley and mint leaves, adding color to your tables. Believe me, this tabbouleh brings a new breath to classic recipes. Now it's time to head to the kitchen and prepare this wonderful recipe!
- 1/2 cup bulgur (90 g)
- 1 large head of broccoli, thick stem removed (about 340 g)
- 1.5 cups parsley, packed (curly or flat-leaf)
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, packed (can be substituted with extra parsley)
- 1 small (or 1/2 large) red or white onion, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 clove garlic, crushed (more if desired)
- Pomegranate seeds (optional, for serving)
Let's start by preparing our bulgur. Place the bulgur and 1 cup of water in a small pot. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat, cover, and cook for about 12 minutes. Then fluff it with a fork and set aside.
Now we prepare the broccoli. Separate the broccoli into florets and process in a food processor until pea-sized pieces, or chop finely by hand.
Heat a pan over medium heat, add a few tablespoons of water, and add the broccoli. Cover and steam for about a minute. Then stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes. The broccoli should turn a bright green color.
Clean your processor, and process the parsley and mint until finely chopped.
Now for the fun part! Combine the cooked bulgur, broccoli, herbs, and onion in a mixing bowl. Add olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and garlic, and mix well. Taste and add more salt if needed. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds before serving. Enjoy!
Homemade Broccoli Tabbouleh Cooking Tips
Be careful not to overcook the broccoli, keeping it slightly crunchy will enhance its flavor. Pomegranate seeds also add a nice taste to the tabbouleh, I recommend trying it.
