Before I went to Italy, I bought a special issue of Vegetarian Times dedicated to taking advantage of all the incredible produce at farmers’ markets.
While I am not a vegetarian, I would say that probably about 70 per cent of what I eat is vegetable, legume or grain. That’s just the way that we were brought up to eat. That’s one of the reasons why I enjoy Vegetarian Times so much. I don’t buy every issue, but the ones I do buy tend to be full of great recipes.
This is Tabbouleh with Mint and Pistachios, which are one of my favourite nuts. This dish was so good that we were fighting over the leftovers. What I love most about it is that you can make loads of it on the weekend and then pack it for lunch during the work week.
I followed the recipe exactly and I certainly hope you’ll give it a try.
Before I get into the MM entries for the week, I just wanted to let you know that in the coming months Magazine Mondays will be going on the road. I’m entering a busy time at work so I’m counting on MM contributors to host at least one edition of MM per month. I have a few people lined up already but if you’re interested, send me an e-mail!
Here’s who joined me for this week’s edition of Magazine Mondays:
Recipe Sleuth of Eye for a Recipe made Roasted Rosemary Potatoes from the October 2010 issue of Food & Wine; Roman-style Braised Chicken with Roasted Peppers from also from the October 2010 issue of Food & Wine; Mussels in Black Bean Sauce from the October 2010 issue of Canadian Living and Pumpkin Pecan Bundt Cake also from the October 2010 issue of Canadian Living.
Lynn of I’ll Have What She’s Having made Shrimp Fra Diavolo from Food & Wine and Saffron Scented Pear Upside Cake from the October 2006 issue of Martha Stewart Living.
Wandering Coyote of ReTorte made Pumpkin Pecan Bundt Cake from the October 2010 issue of Canadian Living (obviously a popular cake!) and Pulled Pork from the December 2005 issue of Canadian Living.
Mary of Caramels, Bonbons et Chocolats.com made Bourbon and Orange Pecan Pie from Real Simple.
Have a great week, everyone!
Ciao!

This is a fantastic taboulleh! Never thought of adding pistachios but it seems so natural. We also love eating this way and often do on weekends.
I was just about to send you an entry for MM and am now wondering – do I email it to you?

Nice recipe!
Somebody at work is subscribed to the Vegetarian Times and brings the issues to work. It’s a great magazine!

I love bulgur! This recipe looks great.
Looks like I emailed you too late to make it on to the roundup – I made peanut butter banana bread from Cooking Light, October 2010: http://4seasonsoffood.blogspot.com/2010/10/peanut-butter-banana-bread.html

This recipe sounds great and my family thrives on dishes that you can cook in mass quantities and store to take for lunch or to have as leftovers. We are often too busy to cook up a decent meal every day of the week so these meals are life savers. Thanks for a great recipe.

Delicious tabbouley Ivonne! I love vegetables too but a lot of cookbooks and magazines focus more on the meat part then on the veggies… Love this!

Hi Ivonne – like you, I like to eat vegetarian meals most of the time. I really like the look of this tabbouleh, especially with the pistachios. This would probably be great made with quinoa too, and maybe dried sour cherries or cranberries would be nice in it too.
