I don't, but most people, it seems, do. So I added it.

My version always includes generous amounts of chopped fresh parsley (I prefer flat leaf) and if available, mint (yerbabuena).

I recently tried a tipili made by a friend which included both those herbs and was much tastier than mine: her secret was to add a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon - it made a huge difference so I will be adding those to my personal recipe from now on.

Different Twist

Hi everyone!

well particularly, I'm a big fan of tipile (taboule). They way I make it (which I hope you guys try) is by adding tomatoes, onions, cucumber and at times radishes. I also incorporate a generous amount of cilantro. Hope you try it
