Street food Tabbouleh — the authentic version

The best Tabbouleh I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The fresh and citrusy intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. pine nuts was used without hesitation, the way it should be.

the cuisine shares roots with the broader Levantine tradition. The a Beirut street stall setting meant eating standing up or on a low stool, which is how this food is supposed to be encountered. strong cardamom coffee was sold right next to it. Don't wait to find the 'right' restaurant. Find the street version first.
