Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

1 cup water
1/2 cup bulgur
1/3 cup minced onion
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
12 medium vine-ripened tomatoes (about 2 1/4 pounds)
2 cups packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
1 cup packed fresh mint leaves
1 large garlic clove
2 ears fresh corn
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare grill.

    Step 2

    In a small saucepan bring water to a boil and remove pan from heat. Stir in bulgur and soak 1 hour.

    Step 3

    While bulgur is soaking, in a bowl stir together onion, cumin, and salt and let stand 1 hour.

    Step 4

    Cut about 1/2-inch-thick slices from tops of tomatoes and scoop out insides to form cups. Mince parsley, mint, and garlic.

    Step 5

    Shuck corn and grill on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning occasionally, until browned and tender, 8 to 10 minutes. When corn is cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cobs and add to onion mixture.

    Step 6

    Drain bulgur in a sieve, pressing hard to extract as much water as possible, and add to corn mixture with parsley, mint, and garlic. In a small bowl whisk together lemon juice, oil, and salt and pepper to taste and drizzle over tabbouleh. Toss tabbouleh well and divide among tomato cups.
