Tip

Gorgeous grains

Couscous, quinoa or a mixture of grains would also be delicious in this recipe. For a protein-packed alternative, try using two cans of green lentils 

Method

  1. Cook the bulghar wheat following pack instructions. Meanwhile, in a non-stick pan, fry the halloumi in 2 tbsp oil for 3-4 mins on each side until golden and starting to crisp up.

  2. Mix together the lime zest and juice, paprika and remaining olive oil, and stir this through the bulghar wheat using a fork. Toss in the chickpeas and rocket, and serve with the fried halloumi slices.
