Bubaleh Recipes

Steps:

• Place the bulghur in a large bowl, pour in the boiling water, and add the lemon juice, olive oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Stir, then allow to stand at room temperature for about 1 hour.
• Add the scallions, mint, parsley, cucumber, tomatoes, 2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper; mix well. Season, to taste, and serve or cover and refrigerate. The flavor will improve if the tabbouleh sits for a few hours.

Steps:

• Beat the egg whites until stiff.
• Slowly fold in the yolks, matzo meal and lemon zest.
• Melt the butter in a heavy based frying pan.
• CAREFULLY drop large spoonfuls of fluffy batter into the pan.
• Fry on one side until done, then gently (GENTLY) flip over and continue cooking on the other side.
• Sprinkle with sugar and enjoy.

Steps:

• Soak 120g fine bulgur wheat in cold water for 15 mins. Drain well, put in a bowl and mix with 75ml olive oil and 4 tbsp lemon juice. Cover and leave for 30 mins to soften. When ready to serve, deseed and finely chop 5 tomatoes and add with 4 finely sliced spring onions and a good handful each of chopped flat-leaf parsley and chopped mint leaves. Finally, stir in another 75ml olive oil and 4-5 tbsp lemon juice and season well.

Steps:

• Rinse the bulgur wheat in a sieve until the water runs clear. Drain well, then transfer to a bowl. Pour over 200ml boiling water, cover with cling film and leave to soak for 30 mins or so while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
• Keeping the parsley in a bunch, chop the leaves roughly. Don't worry about the inclusion of some of the stalks; this all adds to the flavour. Now do the same with the mint. Put the chopped herbs in a large bowl and add the tomato and spring onion.
• Thoroughly drain the bulgur, then add to herb mix, along with lemon juice and olive oil. Mix thoroughly, season and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Mix together the matzahs, currants, almonds, apricots, egg yolks, matzah meal, sugar, lemon rind, and lemon juice.
• 2. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold into the matzah mixture, adding matzah meal to make the mixture hold together.
• 3. Using an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of oil to 375 degrees. Drop the mixture by tablespoons and brown a few minutes on each side until they are crisp. Cook only about three at a time. Drain well on paper. Serve at room temperature or crisped up in the oven. The fritters are especially delicious with stewed prunes with orange juice as an accompaniment, if desired.
• Note: You can make these in the morning, drain on paper, leave out all day, and crisp in the oven just before serving.
