The Bojon Gourmet

Make the tabbouleh:
2 Place the bulgur in a large bowl, pour in the boiling water, then stir in the lemon juice, olive oil, and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Allow the mixture to stand at room temperature for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the bulgur has absorbed most of the water. It will still have a bit of bite, but the texture will be perfect in the final dish.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables:
5 Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice and cool water. Add the fava beans to the pot and simmer until they turn bright green, about 2 minutes. Skim them out of the boiling water, and plunge them into the ice water. When cool enough to handle, taste a bean; if the outer skin tastes tough or bitter, slip them out of their skins by piercing the skin with your thumb nail and squeezing the bean out.
6 Add the peas to the boiling water, and cook until they turn bright green, 30 seconds or so. Skim the peas out and add them to the ice water. Repeat with the asparagus, cooking until crisp-tender, about 1 minute.
Make the harissa dressing:
9 In a small bowl, stir together the harissa, lemon juice and olive oil.
Finish the tabbouleh:
12 When the bulgur and vegetables are ready, drain the chilled vegetables and add them to the bulgur along with the remaining teaspoon of salt, the black pepper, scallions, mint and parsley. Taste the tabbouleh, adding more salt, lemon juice, or olive oil if you think it needs it. Chill the tabbouleh while you prepare the cheese, or cover and chill for up to a few hours.
Fry the cheese:
15 Slice the halloumi into 1/4" thick pieces. Heat the ghee in a heavy, wide skillet over medium heat. Add the cheese in a single layer, spacing it a little bit apart as it will melt slightly, and cook on each side until golden, crisp, and melty, about 1 minute per side. Either serve immediately, or remove to a plate to cool while you fry a second batch, and cut into smaller pieces.
16 Either way, divide the tabbouleh among plates or bowls, top with the cheese, and drizzle with the harissa.
17 The tabbouleh is best the same day, as the vegetables and herbs will lose a bit of color, but leftovers will keep for a day or two in the refrigerator.
