What you need to know<\/h2>\n

How it started<\/h3>\n

As I got better at hiking, I started increasing the distance of my walks. I absolutely loved doing long-distance hikes as opposed to climbing hills (or even mountains). Until that day. Until I HIT THE WALL<\/em>, as they call it. It was on the Thames Path to Windsor walk, the last 5 km. I could not walk anymore. I wanted to cry. I was about to collapse.<\/p>\n

The reason for it: I did not eat the appropriate food to be able to walk a long-distance hike. Therefore my body did not have sufficient carbs to burn and turn into energy to allow me to keep going.<\/p>\n

I learnt from my mistake and started bringing dried fruits with me on long hikes as they are rich in slow-release carbs. Then I thought, why not create a dessert which contains dried fruits, like an\u00a0all-the-carbs you-need<\/em> meal. This is how the idea of the easy tabbouleh salad recipe was born.<\/p>\n

Can I make tabbouleh without using bulgur?<\/h3>\n

Yes, you can! As a French national, I actually never made tabbouleh using bulgur as in France we use semolina. Originated from North Africa, as opposed to bulgur which comes from the Middle East, semolina is much more popular back home than bulgur.<\/p>\n

They are both nutritive, rich in carbohydrates, proteins and fibres but the differences are in the taste and the preparation. While bulgur has a nutty taste, it does take longer to cook. It requires an average of 15 to 20 minutes instead of 5 to 10 minutes for the semolina. Also, bulgur is composed of bigger grains than semolina, which means if you cook the latter for too long, it can become mushy.<\/p>\n

There is no right or wrong, it is a question of preferences and what is available in the supermarket near you. In this recipe, I am using semolina. If you choose to use bulgur, please follow the instructions on the box.<\/p>\n

My tips<\/h3>\n

This is a versatile recipe. I use it as a dessert or a snack on my hikes, but depending on your taste, it can be used as a starter or a side dish. It’s all a question of how you choose to season it. So here are a few tips.<\/p>\n
