Method

  • step 1

    In a large microwave proof bowl, cover the bulgur wheat with stock. Cover with cling film and microwave on High for 4 mins. Set aside, covered; it will absorb the stock within another 5 mins. Make a dressing with spice mix, lemon zest and juice and olive oil, then season to taste. Add the onion, chickpeas, peppers and coriander, toss through the cooked bulgur wheat and serve warm or cold.

Add 0.5 cup chopped cucumbers to add a balancing cool element to this amazing salad.

I've made this a few times and played around a little with the ingredients. Try adding some combination of roasted aubergine, courgette and squash to boost the veggie content. Great on its own for lunch or as a side with grilled chicken as a main.

I absolutely adore this recipe and I've made it lots of times. It is so tasty and makes a great portable lunch or a lovely side dish for a barbeque or buffet. I hadn't tried bulghar wheat before I discovered this recipe and I was quickly converted. I much prefer it to couscous and often use it in…

Fabulous salad that makes (greedy?) me 3 x lunchboxes worth for next week - I used a jar of Pimiento peppers which adds a nice little kick. The combo of chickpeas and bulghur also offers us veggies a complete protein hit. Brilliant.
