  1. TOAST

    Place the coconut flakes in a pan (with a lid) over medium heat. Toast until golden, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. CRISPY CHICKPEAS

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, toast the drained chickpeas until golden and crispy, 12-15 minutes (shifting occasionally). If they start to pop out, use a lid to rein them in. Remove from the pan and season.

  3. BULGUR

    Boil the kettle. Place the rinsed bulgur wheat in a pot with 150ml of boiling water, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Simmer until cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Drain if necessary and fluff with a fork. Rinse, pick, and roughly chop the mixed herbs. Mix ½ the chopped mixed herbs, the crispy chickpeas, and seasoning through the cooked bulgur wheat. Set aside.

  4. PICKLE & DRESSING

    In a bowl, combine the vinegar with 1 tbsp of water and 1 tsp of sweetener. Toss through the cucumber ribbons, the radish rounds, and seasoning. In a small bowl, loosen the yoghurt pesto with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season and set aside.

  5. BABY MARROW

    Place a pan over medium high-heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the baby marrow pieces until lightly charred, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Season.

  6. TIME TO EAT

    Dish up the herby bulgur in a bowl. Top with the baby marrow and the pickled cucumber & radish. Drizzle over the yoghurt pesto. Garnish with the remaining herbs and sprinkle over the toasted coconut flakes. Enjoy, Chef!
