HERBY Chickpeas

Boil the kettle. Place the bulgur wheat in a pot with 200ml of boiling water, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Simmer until cooked through, 6-80 minutes. Drain if necessary, fluff with a fork, and set aside.
CRISPY BACON
Return the pan, wiped down, to medium-high heat. When hot, fry the bacon strips until browned and crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and roughly chop.

In a salad bowl, combine the cooked bulgur wheat, the crispy Chickpeas, ¾ of the chopped bacon, the diced tomatoes, the chopped peppers, ½ the rinsed oregano, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
