BULGAR WHEAT SALAD

I could eat this every single day it's so delicious! Heady with spices, Moroccan-inspired dish packed for of goodness but really feels like a proper meal as the wheat is almost "meaty" itself - so no feeling denied, guilt-free indulgence!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup bulgar wheat
  • 1+1/4 cup boiling water with 1-2 tbsp liquid chicken or veg stock in
  • 1 large red pepper, flame roasted, from a jar, diced about 1-2cm square (don't get your ruler out!)
  • 1 small-medium courgette cut into discs
  • Sprinkle of red chilli flakes
  • Lots and lots cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon each of ground cinnamon, cumin and coriander
  • Zest of 1-2 limes
  • Juice of 1-2 limes
  • Big fat dollop of cold, cold Greek yoghurt to serve

Method

  1. Place the wheat, all the spices, zest, and the water plus stock in a big bowl - mix thoroughly then cover with cling and set aside
  2. Dry griddle the courgette on a hot griddle pan (2-3mins is all that is needed)
  3. When the wheat has puffed up and absorbed all the liquid (about 5 mins) toss in the red pepper, courgette pieces and the lime juice
  4. Again mix well (fork is easiest) and try to stop yourself shovelling it all in before you serve it up!
