Method

  • step 1

    Put the bulgur wheat in a large bowl and just cover with boiling water. Cover the bowl with cling film and leave for 30 mins to absorb all the water.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, separate the sticks of celery and set the leaves aside. Very finely slice the celery and roughly chop the leaves.Cut the apple into fine matchsticks and toss in a little lemon juice. In a bowl, mix the remaining lemon juice with the oil and some seasoning to make a dressing.

  • step 3

    Gently fluff up the bulgur with a fork. Mix the sliced celery and apple through the bulgur, followed by the nuts, chilli, pomegranate seeds and herbs. Drizzle over the dressing and toss everything together gently. Scatter with the celery leaves and serve.

So Flavorful! I didn’t have pomegranate or hazelnuts so I used cranberry raisins and toasted almonds and this turned out great!

question

How many grammes is a bunch of celery roughly, and how much is a bunch of herbs? (always hate bunch descriptions)

Hi, That would depend on where you got your celery and herbs, allow about 300g of celery and 20g for the mint and tarragon and 30g for the parsley. We use up bunches in this recipe so as not to leave small amounts which often go to waste. I hope this helps, Lulu

Tip for extracting pomegranate seeds: Roll the fruit around on a board and squeeze it before you cut it in half. This breaks off some of the seeds from the skin. Cut the fruit in half and then pull out the seeds with your fingers or a spoon, all the while keeping the fruit in a big bowl of water.…

If you like your food crunchy, then this is for you! I used juice from the pomegranate in the dressing with some lemon juice, which worked well.

Made exactly as per recipe, but found it far too lemony! The actual ingredients work well together, but if I made again I would only use some lemon juice on apple, I wouldn't add any extra.
