This recipe was created for Blas y Tir using their Welsh produce of Pembrokeshire Potatoes.

‘Thanks to the Gulf Stream, Pembrokeshire’s mild, frost-free coastal climate is perfect for growing Pembrokeshire Early Potatoes. This unique climate and coastal soil work perfectly together, giving our renowned Blas Y Tir Pembrokeshire Earlies their distinctive character and flavour.

Having been grown in the county’s fertile coastal soils since the mid-1700s, our seasonal Pembrokeshire Earlies have a distinctive, strong, earthy, nutty flavour and aroma. The first crop of potatoes is handpicked in May and sold dirty to keep their delicate skin intact.’

Tabbouleh is a classic Middle Eastern salad dish which is predominantly green from the large quantity of parsley in it.  It’s a mix of fresh parsley, mint, tomatoes and spring onions and is usually made with bulgur wheat but this recipe has used freshly boiled, then cooled potatoes, for a variation on the classic, whilst also making it gluten-free.

A simple dressing of olive oil and fresh citrus of lemon juice, this is a lovely salad for the Summer months and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for picnics and BBQ’s.
