I adore bulghar wheat, more so than cous cous, due to it's chewier and slightly denser texture. This is a variation on tabbouleh, and made without the feta would be a lovely vegan dish.
For 4-6 portions you need:
1 cup bulghar wheat
1 tsp veg stock powder
1 cup boiling water
handful baby plum toatoes, cut in half/quarters depending on size
1 red onion, finely chopped
handful chilli olives, roughly sliced
1 pack feta, cut intobite sized chunks
1/3 cucumber cut into small dice (about the same size as the onions)
2-3 tbsp good quality olive oil
juice 1 lemon
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley and corriander
Place the bulghar wheat, stock and onion in a bowl and cover with the water. Cover and leave to steam for 20-30 mins. Once the wheat has absorbed all the water stir through everything else. Season to taste and then eat.
