When summer is looming and temperatures are rising, we don't necessarily want to spend hours in the kitchen preparing casseroles that will stay on our stomachs. We prefer instead to turn to summer recipes light, refreshing and tasty, like tabbouleh . This dish, typical of Lebanese cuisine, is a great classic for sunny days. It is easily prepared in a thousand ways, with different flavors and ingredients. To vary the pleasures, chef Cyril Lignac shared last April live during his show "Tous en cuisine" on M6 , his recipe for green tabbouleh with prawns . An exotic variation based on green vegetables, fruits, herbs and cooked prawns.
