INSTRUCTIONS

ADDITIONAL
*Use a little more if needed, until the mixture is nice and green.
Rinse bulgur. Pour enough boiling water over it to cover by 1" (about 3 to
4 c.) Let stand about 30 minutes, or until bulgur is light and fluffy.
Drain off excess water in colander, then squeeze with your hands to remove
any more water.
Mix with vegetables, tossing often. Add lemon juice, oil and spices.
Use bread wedges (Syrian bread if possible, or fresh pita bread cut in
strips), escarole or lettuce leaves; line platter. Put tablespoonful on
bread or lettuce leaf; roll and eat. (Or can be served as a salad.) Should
be served immediately after preparation.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
Yummy! Authentic Middle Eastern version - _no_ mint! Good with grilled
fish.

“When Holy God draws near in true revival, people come under terrible conviction of sin. The outstanding feature of spiritual awakening has been the profound consciousness of the Presence and holiness of God. #Henry Blackaby”
