How to make tabboukeh?

I had held my tongue so long.

You guys crack me up, as in cracked wheat/tsavar. :P :D

I am amazed at you people. Tabbouleh was one of our most hated dishes when we were young, only maybe next to bamia.

People talk as if it is rocket science. :P :) As if it is fine Royal Palace French Cuisine created in Versaille* :P . All it is soaked tsavar, chopped onions, tons and tons of chopped parsley, salt lemon juice, olive oil, maybe diced tomatoes…and…what…? It is a poor man’s hors d’euvres/ mezze/anti-pasto/նախա.-խմոր/ pre-dinner/նախ- ընթրիք. No caviar, no prosciuto (pork/ham), no truffles, no stuffed mushrooms, not even plain old hot dogs. :P

If we only knew the origin of the word we would not be so “confused”. “tabbouleh“ is an Arabic word, along with “muttabal” that means CONFUSED.

Johannes will correct me.

* The reason why Armenian cuisine is so rustic and poor, and often foreign is because we have not have had a Royal Palace with professional chefs, for a million years.

I'm going to be at New Jersey in July Takoush jan, but too bad I'll only get to see the airport :(

That's alright, tell me which airport and I'll come and greet you with Armenian coffee and a small pot of tabuleh. If you tell me where and when I'll come and greet you Extrajan! :)

Did you guys ever eat Topig? I don't know the Armenian name, so Arpa don't bombard me for it please.

 

It takes a lot of hand and my mother and I make this during holiday times. It takes a lot of time; but since we are not lazy Armenian women we make it and it's the best Armenian hors-deouvres.

Even if it may sound furkish "top/գնդակ/ball", Topik is Armenian, you silly woman. :P :D It may be one of the very few dishes made and named by Armenians. It is the national dish of Bolsetsi Armenians. I don't know thw recipe but Bolstsis would die if they did not have Topik at a holiday dinner.

And, while we're at it. How about you describe it and give us the recipe.? :)

OK. I see Extra did already give us the recipe.
