Nutty Bulgar Wheat with Herbs

From Gordon Ramsay's Fast Food

Serves 4, warm or as a cold salad.

Ingredients

  • 300g bulgar wheat
  • 75g pistachios, toasted
  • Large handful chopped mixed fresh herbs (e.g. parsley, mint, basil, chervil)
  • Sea salt / black pepper

Dressing:

  • 1.5 tbsp pomegranate molasses
  • 1.5 tbsp lemon juice
  • 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

Pour boiling water over wheat in pan to cover, and simmer for 10-12 mins until just tender. Mix dressing separately. Drain bulgar and place in a bowl; while warm, add dressing, nuts and herbs, season with salt and pepper, and mix.

Steve's tip:

As an alternative to bulgar, you can use couscous. Here's a great method for couscous:

Put 300g regular or wholemeal couscous in a large bowl, and pour on 2 tbsp of olive oil. Make 480ml of instant chicken stock in a jug using freshly boiled water, and pour it over the couscous, but don't mix. Quickly cover the bowl with cling film and leave for 10 minutes -- easy!
