    Tabbouleh is pretty basic: pearl couscous, grape tomatoes, green bell pepper, jalapeno, parsley, and shallot, seasoned with garlic, salt, and extra virgin olive oil.

    Lamb is chunks of leg meat, seasoned with salt and coarsely ground cumin seeds and fennel seeds. Pan fried the meat in a skillet with some olive oil over medium-high heat until cooked through and lightly browned.

    Hummus is based on the recipe in the cookbook *Shuk*: 2 cans of chickpeas, 3/4 c. tahini, 2 cloves garlic, juice of 2 lemons, 1/3 c. ice cold water, 1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil, and 1 tsp each cumin seeds and kosher salt.

    Looks really delicious and a great recipe in general but that’s not the traditional tabbouleh that I grew up eating in a Lebanese household. Of course every household and country makes it their own way plus recipes are meant to be personalized based on preferences and dietary needs but this version seems quite different to me. If it works for you and your meal prepping journey though that’s great! Just curious to know where you found this recipe? I’ve attached a photo of authentic tabbouleh for reference.
