Thank you for this lovely recipe! I don’t often make or eat tabbouleh (unfortunately I don’t LOVE the taste of the bulgur wheat, despite loving all of the other flavours within). However, made with couscous, I think you just might be onto a winner! Cheers, Margot
Thanks Margot. It is the same for me! That’s why I use couscous!
Oh, I never knew semolina and couscous were the same thing. And I have all the ingredients for this. Great! Thank you!
Euh… I looked into my French-English dictionary so… I am not sure 100% but you can surely tell me by looking on the box you have at home :)! So?
It says “couscous” and “made from durum wheat”. No mention of semolina but I think it`s made from semolina wheat too? Anyway, I`ve always associated tabbouleh with couscous. But I`m interested in the semolina connection because my mother used to serve semolina as a dessert back in the seventies. I never thought of it as a savoury wheat type dish. Ohh, and we kids didn`t really like it either-it reminded us of frogs`eggs!
Thanks for this recipe! I love tabbouleh and this looks amazing!
Thanks! Love the name of your blog! Really funny!
