Local stores overflowing with seasonal produce

OFTEN, THE dishes that we prefer from other cultures

are ‘‘poor man’s food.”

For example, | doubt if many
cabbage rolls graced the tables of
middle European royalty.

We were taught in school that
Henry VIII died from a combina-
tion of gluttony and an unmen-
tionable (then) sociai disease. The
current theory is that although
Henry was probably a glutton and
immeral to boot, his death was
due to malnutrition.

It makes sense when you read
the menn of a typical royal dinner
of that time. The rich feasted on
meat. In fact, vegetables were
considered ‘‘poor man’s food"
and viewed with contempt by
those who could afford lots of
meat.

i’m no vegetarian — just like
any other lifestyle, vegetarianism
can be taken to extremes.
Malnutrition is quite possible
unless the vegetarian is well-
schooled in adding protein from
sources other than meat.

However, with our stores
overflowing with seasonal pro-
duce, this is the best time of year
to eat more veggies. This salad is
unusual and deliciously addictive.
It is popular in Greece and
Lebanon and at the McCreadie
house.

Tabouli

The parsley for this salad must
be perfectly fresh. Discard any
bruised, wilted or yellowed sprigs.

i large bunch fresh parsley (about
4 cups chopped)

2 tomatoes

1 bunch green onions

A cup olive oil

3 tablespoons Jemor juice

1 cup bulghur or cracked wheat
@ook in the bulk food depast-
ment)

Finely chop the parsley,
tomatoes and onion by hand. A
food processor will turn them to
mush. Whisk the oi! with the
lemon juice.

Rinse the bulghur in cold water
and then soak it in cold water to
cover for about an hour or until it
plumps up. Drain well.

This is also a handy dish to br-
ing along to pot-luck dinnets as it
makes a fot, travels well and it’s
fairly inexpensive if you watch for
tinned foods featured in the Myers
and stock up.
