30 minutiIl tabulé (o tabbouleh) è un piatto fresco e aromatico della tradizione mediorientale, tipico della cucina libanese. Solitamente preparato con cous cous o bulgur e un trionfo di erbe fresche, questa versione aggiunge uva passa per una nota dolce e pomodori secchi per un sapore più intenso e mediterraneo. Perfetto come antipasto o piatto unico leggero!

Procedure
0. Place the couscous in a large bowl, add a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of oil, and stir. Pour in 220 ml of boiling water or hot vegetable broth, cover with a lid or plate, and let sit for 5 minutes.
1. Meanwhile, soak the raisins in a cup of warm water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Finely chop the parsley and mint. Abundant herbs are essential for the true flavor of tabbouleh! Chop the sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces. Dice the cucumber very finely (if it has a lot of seeds, you can remove them). Thinly slice the spring onion or red onion.
3. After 5 minutes, fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grains. Add the chopped herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, raisins, cucumber, and spring onion.
4. Season with lemon juice, grated lemon zest, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and cinnamon (if you like a spicy note). Mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving: this allows the flavors to meld perfectly.
5. ✅ For a crunchy touch: Add toasted almonds or pine nuts. ✅ For an even more authentic flavor: Try a pinch of ground cumin. ✅ Want something fresher? Add pomegranate or orange slices.
