Ingredients

  • 1 butternut squash, peeled, deseeded, cut into 3cm chunks
  • 2 tbsp harissa paste
  • 100g bulghar wheat
  • juice 2 limes
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 3 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped coriander
  • 2 handfuls baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 50g pumpkin seeds
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Place the squash on a baking sheet and toss with the harissa and some seasoning. Roast for 30 mins or until golden and tender.

  2. Put the bulghar wheat in a saucepan, cover with boiling water, then cook for 15 mins, drain and cool. Put half the lime juice in a small bowl and add the onion. Leave to sit for 5 mins, then add to the bulghar wheat along with the feta, cooled squash, coriander and spinach.

  3. In a frying pan, toast the pumpkin seeds for 3-4 mins or until they start popping in the pan. Remove, chop 2 tbsp of the seeds and put in a bowl. Pour the rest over the salad. Add the remaining lime juice to the chopped seeds, with the oil, and seasoning. Mix and pour over the salad.
