Danny Barichello I am so happy that this recipe brought pleasant memories to you. I hope you really enjoy this dish when you make it:) please keep me posted on how you find it:)

I had a Lebanese wife once ,she wasn't mine though

Thank you very much for this lovely comment:) I totally agree :)

Please let me know how you find it when you try it:))

Thank you very much:)) I am glad.

Very accurate observation and very true!!!! In authentic tabouli, the bulgur is a very minor ingredient :)

Green is better ☝🏻

Most welcome from me and my mom:))) it is our pleasure:) yes, from our home to yours ☺️

That’s a great idea to reduce the water content (zoom) of the Tabouli and it would make the parsley leaves taste even more fresh :)

Great advice. Thank you!

Sherri Dodson 🤗 I am so happy that you guys have enjoyed it:) this comment just made my day! Thank you for that, and thank you for letting me be part of such a precious mother-son time😊🙏🏻

@@nourcookslebanese523 who is it?

You are very welcome:)) thank you:) will surely tell my mom😃 thanks from this Lebanese lady from the States💕

Haha yes Amen to that! Mediterranean diet is very healthy and delicious at the same time 😃

YAS! especially mint!

Andrew James don’t grow mint, it grows wayyyy too much, u will not know how to stop, just my opinion. Thanks

Its better to grow mint in a pot as it grows uncontrollably in the ground.

Grow the mint in a container. That's what I did... My sister grew it in her garden and it took over. 😟

Thank YOU for this lovely comment:) it made me smile! So happy you loved it:D it is my pleasure 😃

If you really want to laugh...we went for dinner one evening at a Lebanese restaurant in Paris. I ordered the tabouleh to start. When it came time for desert, I asked for another tabouleh. It was that good. Thank you for your comment. My husband asked me to make your recipe again tomorrow.

What the difference between pomegranate paste and pomegranate molasses please Thanks

hehehe fresh mint is so basic in all what I eat, the aroma, the taste...all so fresh and perfect in salads:D

I hope it was to your liking?? :)

You are the most welcome!

Thank you:))

Does seven spices include?

You are the most welcome! oh how I miss Beirut!

@@marta_mynbay No, I could not find it at that time, but last year my wife's colleague gave her a little jar of seven spice. I will add it to my Taboule next time 😊😊.

Thank you very much 😃 I love Lebanese food too😊

Indeed:) I love Lebanese cuisine and desserts too:)

Thank you:) so glad you liked it:)

Thank you very much:) it’s my mother’s:)

Thank you very much, Lisa:)) I am glad to hear that.

25A0 :))) I am so happy to read this😊 indeed it is, you are very welcome:) thank you for your comment😃 btw, did you add the pomegranate paste too?

No, unfortunately I couldn't find pomegranate paste in any of the nearby shops, but I'll see if I can order some online for the next time :)

25A0 :) the traditional recipe doesn’t contain Pomegranate Molasses, it is totally optional:) if available though, i totally recommend it, for it’s tangy and adds depth to the overall flavor :)

Mo Rob :))) I am so happy to read this! My mom taught me that trick! So glad you enjoyed it! And thank you so much! Such comments always make my day😊

I am so glad you loved it:)

Thank you very much, Tyler:) indeed it does! Delicious, quick, and healthy😃

This makes me so happy:) I am so glad that it brought warm memories to your mom:) Indeed, my mother in law soaks the bulgur in lemon juice too:) My mom does not, but I like it both ways.

You are very welcome:) hope you liked it:D

Thank you! 😁

DanielleDeFreeze exactly! It already gets soaked in the tabouli juice:)) hope you enjoyed it when you tried it😃

@@nourcookslebanese523 oh wow yes, it was great! I will definitely make it this way from now on 🙆 thank you!

Thank you very much, John:) what people say is indeed a reflection of themselves rather than me. I really appreciate your kind words🙏☺️

Actually thank you:)

I try:)

Daiselys Abreu thank you:)

lol that made me laugh:)

😂😂😂

Shashikhan Silva 😂😂same here!

Yeah and I had it with cucumber in it, am I wrong.

asetico the classical recipe has no cucumber but if it is to your liking, why not! More fibers 😁

Here is the recipe: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZoXau9haSLA.html

Thank you very much😃 yes this music sounds like home 🙏

Valerie Cahira :)) actually, thank you very much😊 And that is a great suggestion! I will be making a video about it soon then. Meanwhile, here’s a classical Lebanese recipe for it, it is actually a mix of 8 spices: - 1/2 cup ground black pepper - 1/2 cup ground cumin - 1/2 cup paprika - 1/4 cup ground coriander - 1/4 cup ground cloves - 4 tsp ground nutmeg - 4 tsp ground cinnamon - 2 tsp ground cardamom Mix all evenly and voilà! Also, I usually buy mine readily mixed from any Arabic or middle eastern grocery store! P.S It does differ from one country to another, there are so many modifications to this recipe, but this one is a Lebanese classic one. Hopefully that helped

TakeWhisks With Nour thank you. I like to grind my own spices so this is great.

This is a very traditional Lebanese music using traditional instruments : buzk and Oud :)

and I appreciate your comment:) my pleasure!

+Fateh Dadi 😂😂 my bad😂 I meant to point at the dress under my red cardigan😃 I am so happy to hear u loved it:) of u ever make it, let me know how u find it:)

😂😂😂😂💯

I thought I went colour blind when she didn’t use red onions like she has written on her instructions lol

Was Red replaced with Green and then back to White onion as a red onion😋😋 Thanks for the recipe

👍🤣🤣🤣I thought the same thing

Yes, it should not be too much bulgur. and the bulgur should not be the dominant thing you see in the dish:)

Thank you so much Clari for this lovely comment ☺️🤗

You can do that as well, that’s what the Turkish recipes do. We just used the fine bulgur as is and let the juices in the tabouli soften it.

It does go really well with the taste of Tabouleh :)

I am very happy to hear that:)

Erica D :)) it’s a pleasure:) thank you so much for watching, let me know how you find this recipe when you try it:)

Hello, here is the link to my recipe on lebanese 7 spices: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZoXau9haSLA.html Hope that helped answering your question☺️

It is called 7 Baharat. Here is my recipe on it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZoXau9haSLA.html

Thank you:) it is! Hope you try it, if you do, let me know how you find it:)

Nice meeting you and best regards to the mountains of Lebanon! In general I am not a big fan of Cinnamon, I use it more in sweets but I will try it:)

@@nourcookslebanese523 nour It has been over 45 yrs since we LEFT Our home land, Due to the war. I am an American Lebanese, Plz use a tiny small amount of the cinnamon,along with lemon juice for the Tabouley.. Huge difference trust me. Gd luck

SORIYA'S KITCHEN thank you for this lovely comment:)) anytime ❤️

Abu Said Hussein thank you very much:)

Hehehe yes! It is actually the brown/yellow onion which is white inside and brown on the outside. 😊

Thank you:) it is delicious and good for you:) you too take care. Khosh Amadeed☺️

And Russian in America - just made it for Puerto Rican husband and British friends, they all LOVED IT!

It is my pleasure :)) thank you!🙏

Thank you very much 😃 this music and this dish always make me feel like I went back to Lebanon 😃

It is very! And so nutritious and refreshing :) yes, I have a recipe on it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZoXau9haSLA.html

Yes you found the seven spices video:)

@@nourcookslebanese523 seven spices

Her video ... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZoXau9haSLA.html Seven Spices: - 1 tsp ground cinnamon - 1 tsp ground cumin - 1 tsp ground coriander - 1 tsp Black Pepper - 1 tsp ground cardamom - 1/2 tsp ground cloves - 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

w alaykum alsalam:) hope you liked it!

I very hope you and your daughter enjoyed it😊

Stir the black pepper, cumin, paprika, coriander, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom together until evenly blended. Store the spice mix in an airtight container.

Here is my recipe on it:) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZoXau9haSLA.html

Thank you for your kind comment☺️ the traditional Lebanese recipe doesn’t contain garlic, however, if you have tried it before and you liked it, i don’t see why not:) I added pomegranate molasses, it gives Tabbouleh a tangy sour taste. I love pom juice too, I drink it all the time too, I would advise you to skip it if it is sweet and contains sugar. Please let me know how you find this recipe after you try it:))

My pleasure:)) me too:D

Me too!!!! I also like scooping it with lettuce leaves :) Let me know how you find it when you try it:)

@@nourcookslebanese523 I made it last week. It was so good. My family ate it up very fast ❤😁❤

This has just made my day!! So happy you and your family have loved it🙆‍♀️❤️❤️
