Then use a fork to separate the grains of burghul; add the tomatoes, mint, parsley and shallots, and stir well until all the ingredients are combined.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
