I would say try anything once. You may just find a keeper through experimentation. I may try making it without the Rocket in the salad and serve the salad over the rocket just in case it doesn’t make the flavor your palate enjoys. The parsley and coriander add a specific regional flavor profile that is hard to replace. I often add chopped kale as a filler and for the fiber boost, but it has a fairly neutral flavor whereas the rocket is quite peppery. Be adventurous.

I’m so glad to hear!

Sorry, meant to give it 4 stars

After living in Syria, Lebanon and Turkey for over a decade, Serge you are correct. This recipe is completely incorrect.

You soak the bulgur, just like she did. You do use a 7-spice blend, of which cinnamon, clove, coriander, and pepper is used, so the the cinnamon is not so different. Other countries make this dish as well, also, the dish has evolved. Maybe stop being such a cow.

Other cultures have variations on different dishes. Hope this helps.

I’m glad you enjoyed it!
