Sorghum tabbouleh

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

“I am passionate about sorghum – I started The Sorghum Agenda to convince everyone they need this indigenous grain in their life. This recipe is my take on a much-loved Mediterranean classic. The tabbouleh is perfect on its own as a salad.” – Zandile Finxa
