Gyro's and Tabbouleh

First day of my cooking adventures does not start hard. This is for a few reasons. 1. It's Saturday and I am lazy. 2. It was really hot today. 3. I wanted to start off easy. 4. I may have had work and not been home. 5. Mostly this reason, We had Gyro meat in the freezer.
My Grandfather was Lebanese and he loved to make us Lebanese food Tabbouleh (sometimes spelled tabouli) was one of my favorites. I realize that gyro's are Greek but the go really well together and the Greek eat tabbouleh too. Anyway it was a really simple meal to prepare.

Tabbouleh
Bunch of Parsley
Lemon
Tomato
Green Onion
Bulgar Wheat
Oil

for this you need to start by soaking the bulgar wheat in water. then start cutting everything up and putting it in a bowel. Cut the leafy parts of the parsley off and add those, discard the steams, no one likes those. cut the green onion in small slices, just the white onion part not the green part. cut the tomato into small cubes. squeeze out the juice of the lemon add some oil (I just do this by memory so i don't have measurements sorry). add the bulgar wheat now that is has been hydrated and toss.
you will be munching on this all the time. I have bowls of it for lunch and snacks.





Gyros tomato
gyro meat
pocket pita bread
white onion
cucumber ranch dressing

This is the easiest thing ever, cut your veggies to the size you want. cook the meat on a skillet. assemble. Tada!


Hope you enjoy this first one. Let me know what you think!
Everyday is an adventure!
