Steps

  1. 1
    Rinse the fine bulgur and soak it in the lemon juice for 20 minutes — it needs no water and no cooking.
  2. 2
    Wash and dry the parsley completely, then chop it as finely as you can with a very sharp knife. A blunt knife bruises it black.
  3. 3
    Chop the mint separately, at the last moment, so it does not oxidise.
  4. 4
    Dice the tomatoes small and tip them, juice and all, over the soaked bulgur.
  5. 5
    Combine the herbs, spring onions and bulgur mixture.
  6. 6
    Dress with the olive oil, allspice and salt, toss and taste. It should be sharply lemony.
  7. 7
    Serve within the hour, with romaine leaves for scooping.
