Discover nourishing herbs and simple wellness practices that support postpartum recovery. Learn how nutritive herbs and gentle nervines can help restore energy, support emotional well-being, and encourage restful sleep after birth. The Fourth Trimester Deserves More Attention Bringing a new baby into the world changes everything, including your body. After months of growing and nourishing another human, your body begins one of its biggest transitions yet. Hormones shift rapidly, sleep becomes unpredictable, nutrient stores are depleted, and your nervous system adapts to the around-the-clock demands of caring for a newborn. It's no wonder many new mothers feel physically and emotionally stretched. While much attention is placed on pregnancy, the weeks and months after birth deserve just as much care.

Tabbouleh Salad With Pomegranate Molasses Dressing


                                    Image result for tabbouleh
Tabbouleh is a traditional salad across the Middle East. Classically there would be far more parsley than bulgur wheat – perhaps only a few tablespoons of cooked wheat would be used in the recipe below. However, I prefer a little extra to make the salad more substantial. 

What do you eat tabbouleh with?

Serve tabbouleh as part of a mezze spread, alongside BBQ chicken or lamb, with a chopped salad and flat breads. It’s also delicious with Turkish breads, and sliced veg such as avocado, olives and chopped tomato.

Is tabbouleh eaten hot or cold?

Tabbouleh is usually eaten cold, with hot dishes such as meat or fish to accompany it.

Where to store tabbouleh?

Tabbouleh is best eaten fresh, but you can store it in the fridge in an airtight container for a couple of days.

Ingredients  Serves: 4

  • 1/2 mug bulgur wheat
  • 1 mug boiling water
  • 75g parsley, chopped
  • 1 tomato, finely diced
  • Spring onion, white part only, minced (approx 25g)
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. To cook the bulgur wheat, pour together the bulgur wheat and boiling water into a small pan. Cover with a lid and bring to the boil. Remove from heat and leave to sit for 20 minutes. When the bulgur wheat is cooked and all the water is absorbed, spread out on a cold plate to cool quickly.
  2. Toss together the cooled bulgur wheat, parsley, tomato, spring onion, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, olive oil, salt and pepper.
