Method

  • step 1

    Cook the bulgur wheat according to pack instructions, then drain well. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic and olive oil, then use half to brush over both sides of the aubergine strips with some seasoning. Sear the strips on a hot griddle or in a frying pan for 3 mins each side until charred and softened.

  • step 2

    Tip the bulgur wheat into a large bowl with the chickpeas, tomatoes, onion, feta and mint, then pour over the remaining garlicky oil and the lemon juice. Mix and season well, then pile onto plates with the charred aubergines.

RECIPE TIPS
BULGHAR WHEAT

With a nutty texture, bulghar wheat is made by steaming, drying and crushing whole wheat. Don’t confuse it with cracked wheat, which is very hard, takes a lot of cooking and is more difficult to find. Look for different types of bulghar in Middle Eastern stores, especially wholegrain and high-fibre varieties, which still contain some bran. Substitute it where you would normally use couscous.

Delicious! Great recipe that you can add lots of extras to as it suits. Left out the onion and used a mix of fresh mint and parsley. Added some Quorn chicken pieces and some sumac. Yum!

Yum! Made this for dinner and loved it. Made a few changes based on what I had in the cupboard - giant cous cous and balsamic in place of the lemon as I am not a fan.

Made this last night for dinner and it was really great. Subbed in lentils for chickpeas and cous cous as i didnt have any bulgar wheat. The aubergine was nice but next time i might use courgettes and only half cook them so theres a bit of crunch as the texture wasn't ideal. Didn't use the onion and…
