  1. BULGUR KING

    Boil the kettle. Place the 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, fluff with a fork, and set aside. Roughly chop the dried fruit and set aside.

  2. FEELING CRUMB-EY

    Whisk 1 egg in a shallow dish with a splash of water. In a separate shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, the crispy onion bits, the chopped pistachios, and seasoning. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. Coat in the egg first and then in the crumb mixture.

  3. CRISPY CHICKS

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the crumbed chicken until golden and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel and season.

  4. LOADED SALAD

    To the bowl with the cooked bulgur, add the vinegar, ½ the chopped parsley, the chopped tomatoes, the chopped dried fruit, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning. Toss until combined.

  5. DIG IN!

    Plate up the bejewelled bulgur salad. Crumble over the goat’s cheese and top with the pistachio chicken. Garnish with the remaining parsley. Well done, Chef!
