Anissa’s recipe uses plenty of flat-leaved parsley. When shopping, if weighing them, each bunch I bought weighed between 3 to 4 ounces, or 85 to 115 grams, but if you want to be certain, simply weigh them at the market so you know you have the amount called for in the recipe. Once home, pick the parsley and mint leaves from the stems and wash them in a salad spinner. -dl

Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons (30g) bulgur fine
- 3 medium (600g) tomato diced into small cubes, firm, ripe
- 2 (50g) spring onion trimmed and very thinly sliced, or scallions
- 14 ounces (400g) flat-leaf parsley most of the stalks discarded, leaves washed and dried
- 2 cups (20g) mint washed and dried, no stems, leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice (or Lebanese seven-spice mixture)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper finely ground
- salt to taste
- lemon or to taste, juice of 1
- 2/3 cup (150ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 4 gem lettuce washed and quartered, heads
Instructions
- Rinse the bulgur in several changes of cold water. Drain well and put in a bowl. Stir it with a fork every now and then to help it fluff up.
- Put the diced tomatoes in a bowl and set aside while you prepare the herbs. A word of warning: do not chop the herbs with a mezzaluna. This will only bruise them.
- Using a razor-sharp knife, grab as much of the parsley and mint as you can handle in a bunch, and slice them very thin, to end up with nice, crisp slender strips.
- Drain the tomatoes of their juice and put in a large bowl. Add the spring onion and herbs. Sprinkle the bulgur all over. Season with the cinnamon, allspice and pepper. Add salt to taste. Add the lemon juice and olive oil and mix well. Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary. Serve immediately with the quartered gem lettuce.
