BULGUR KING
Boil the kettle. Place the bulgur wheat in a bowl with 100ml of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and set aside until rehydrated, 15-20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
GOLDEN BITS
Place a pan over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the corn and fry until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
VERY VENISON
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the venison chunks dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the venison until browned, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan, reserving any pan juices, and season.
ALL ABOUT THE BASE
In a salad bowl, combine the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener, and seasoning. Toss through the cooked bulgur, the chopped pickled peppers, the charred corn, and ½ the picked dill.
THAT’S THAT, CHEF!
Plate up the loaded bulgur salad and top with the seared venison. Drizzle over any pan juices. Garnish with the remaining picked dill, and finish it off with a crack of black pepper. Simple yet stunning, Chef!
