"All you need to know for a healthier child...."
This is a delicious and easy recipe that you can really easily adapt it to your taste and add in different nuts and seeds but this is the way I like it. Hard cheeses, such as feta, are better tolerated by those that may have issues with dairy, plus pumpkin seeds full of good oils.
Bulgar Wheat Salad with Feta, Raisins, Berries & Rocket
Bring up to the boil and then simmer gently for 5-10 minutes or until the grain has puffed up and absorbed all the water and is soft when tasted. If it's still firm but dry, add a splash more water and continue to cook until done.
Serves 4 adults
Ingredients
150g bulgar wheat
25g dried berries
25g pumpkin seeds
40g raisins
50g toasted pinenuts
40g feta, crumbled
1/2 zest of one lemon
A handful of fresh rocket, chopped
Olive oil
1 tsp bouillon powder (approx)
Method
Rinse your bulgar wheat lightly in a sieve and then pop into a saucepan and cover with boiling water (cover so there is about 1 cm of water on top) and sprinkle over the bouillon.
Take off the heat and cool.
Then, simply add in all the other ingredients and mix well. Add enough olive oil to coat the grains and add flavour.
Season well and serve.
