My neighbor, Shala, is passionate about the food from her native Syria.   Several times a month, she shares another delicious dish that is exotic to us but home cooking to her.  Our family favorite is her delicious version of tabbouleh which she tells me is favorite picnic food in Syria.  And when she offered to show me she makes her it, I jumped at the chance. And this is your lucky day, chickens, because you get to see too.

It’s a bit hard to see. This is bulghur mixed with tomato paste in a red bowl.

Now, we’ll start putting it all together.
