Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the bulgur wheat in 100ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 15-20 minutes until cooked and tender. Fluff up with the fork on completion, replace the plate, and set aside.
ZESTY FLAVOUR
Slice the zested Lemon into 2 half moons and cut the remainder into wedges. Place the one for all rub, the picked thyme leaves and the grated Garlic in a bowl. Add 1 tsp of oil and the juice of 1 lemon wedge. Season to taste and mix until fully combined.
‘EN PAPILLOTE’
Pat the trout fillet dry with paper towel and lightly season. Place a fillet in the centre of a piece of tinfoil or baking paper (large enough to wrap around the whole fillet). Coat in the Garlic oil. Top with 2 lemon half-moons and 2 tomato discs. Tightly close the tinfoil or baking paper over the fish, sealing it in. Place on a baking tray and cook in the hot oven for 12-15 minutes until soft and flakey.
FINAL TOUCHES
Once the bulgar wheat is cooked, toss through the halved olives, the diced tomato, ½ of the basil pesto and the rinsed Spinach until wilted. Season to taste.
MEAL FOR ROYALTY!
Plate a delicious pile of loaded bulgar wheat alongside the trout en papillote. Keep the parcels closed until starting your meal so the tantalising aroma can be inhaled. Sprinkle over the Lemon zest and dollop with the remaining basil pesto. Et voilà!
