Emma
This is the perfect accompaniment to any barbequed food but particularly barbequed lamb.
ingredients
- 1 cup bulgar wheat
- juice of 1 lemon
- half cucumber diced
- 12 cherry tomatoes halved or quartered
- 1 bunch of flat leaf parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoons of virgin olive oil
- large pinch of Maldon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
directions
- 1
Place the bulgar wheat and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
- 2
Cover with boiling water - about a quarter of a centimeter above the wheat. Cover with cling film and set aside until all the water is absorbed.
- 3
Check to see if the wheat is soft. If not, add another tablespoon of water, cover with clingfilm and place in a microwave, on high, for 30-60 seconds. Remove and allow to rest for 5 minutes still covered with the clingfilm.

Meanwhile prepare the tomatoes. Once halved or quatered, season with the maldon salt and a twist of black pepper. If the tomatoes are not naturally sweet add a pinch of caster sugar.

Once the wheat has cooled, add the tomatoes, cucumber and parsley. Add the lemon juice and olive oil and toss all the ingredients together.
