Beetroot Apple Broad Bean Tabbouleh Recipes

BEETROOT TABBOULEH

Steps:

• Put the kettle on to boil. Tip the grains into a fine mesh sieve, pour over a kettleful of boiling water, over the sink, leave to drain, then tip into a large bowl. Put the beetroot, most of the herbs, the olive oil, lemon juice and 5-6 tbsp cold water in a food processor and blitz until smooth. Season lightly, adding a splash more water to loosen if needed. Mix into the bowl of grains and stir until they are well-coated.
• Toss the tomatoes, onion, cucumber and lemon zest into the grain mixture until combined. Season to taste. Divide between two plates, sprinkle with more herbs and drizzle with a little olive oil.

RAW BEET AND APPLE TABBOULEH

Steps:

• In a large bowl stir together bulgur and boiling-hot water. Let mixture stand, covered, 30 minutes.
• While bulgur is standing, trim beets (reserve greens for another use) and peel. Using a mandoline or very sharp knife separately cut beets and apple into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Separately cut beet and apple slices into 1-inch-long julienne strips. In a blender or food processor puree basil with oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste until smooth.
• Fluff bulgur with a fork. Add beets, apple, and about 1/4 cup dressing, tossing to combine.
• Serve tabbouleh with remaining dressing on the side.
