Ingredients for 8 people :
- 250 gr [1/2 lb] semolina (couscous)
- the juice of 2 lemons
- 2 small white onions
- 3 tomatoes, medium size
- 1/2 cucumber
- 5 Tbspoons tomatoe juice
- 5 Tbspoons olive oil
- 20 leaves of fresh mint
- 30 cl [11 fl oz] warm water
- salt & pepper

Recipe :

1- Pour the semolina in a very large bowl (volume will increase a lot). Add half lemon juice, tomatoe juice, 3 spoons olive oil, salt, pepper and half water on it ; mix well with a fork. You now have to let it rise for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and break all lumps formed.
2- In the meantime, prepare all the vegetables : peel and mince the onions ; peel the cucumber, wash the tomatoes, wash and seed the greenpepper and cut them all in very small cubes.
3- Add the left water and lemon juice on semolina ; wait for another 20 minutes, still stirring and breaking lumps from time to time ; then add all vegetables, mix everything well and leave in fridge until serving.
4- When ready to serve, stir well to break all lumps if any left. Semolina must not be sticky or compact , and the mixture should be light. Add the left 2 spoons of olive oil, pepper, and adjust salt if needed. Finally wash and thinly cut the mint leaves and add them to the Taboulé. Mix again.

Serve in an ear dish or a rib dish and decorate with a few plain leaves of fresh mint if you have some left.
