\"patouli\" - tabouli with potatoes instead of couscous

4 servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
20smallsNew red potatoes
2cupsParsley, fresh, chopped fine
2tablespoonsMint leaves, fresh, chopped
¾cupDiced spring onion including some of the tops
1Tomato, ripe, diced
½Lemon, juiced
4ouncesFeta cheese, crumbled
2tablespoonsOlive oil

Directions

Wash the potatoes and put on to steam until tender.

Finely chop and combine the parsley, mint, onions, and tomato.

Squeeze in the lemon juice. Mix thouroughly.

Crumble the feta and turn into the salad makings.

Drain the potatoes and place five in in a shallow bowl. Cover with ¼ of the salad mixture. Potatoes should be mashed or sliced by the person eating. No salt or butter is necessary, really.

This dish was born of necessity when I intended to make tabouli, but found I had no bulgur (which I use instead of couscous), but did have fresh, new potatoes. The dish made a meal! The kind one feels good after.
