BULGUR AND CHICKPEA SALAD WITH ROASTED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Trim artichokes and cut medium artichokes into quarters, cut large ones into 6ths or 8ths, rubbing cut surfaces with lemon and placing the pieces in a bowl of water acidulated with lemon juice as you work.
• Drain artichokes and dry as thoroughly as you can with paper towels. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and toss artichoke wedges with the olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Take care to coat all cut surfaces with olive oil.
• Place in oven and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, turning artichokes every 10 minutes, until the hearts are tender and edges of the leaves are browned, even charred.
• Meanwhile, make bulgur salad. Place bulgur in a bowl with salt to taste (I use 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt) and pour on 2 cups hot or boiling water. Allow to sit for 20 to 25 minutes, until most of water is absorbed. Drain and press against strainer to remove excess water.
• While bulgur is soaking, make dressing. Mix together lemon juice, garlic, mustard, and salt to taste. Whisk in olive oil. Toss with bulgur in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients, toss together, taste and adjust seasonings.
• Spoon bulgur salad onto a platter or onto plates. Garnish with artichoke wedges, and serve.

SPICED BULGUR, CHICKPEA & SQUASH SALAD

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200c/fan 180c/gas 6. Toss the squash and red pepper in the harissa paste and oil. Spread the chunks out on a large baking tray and roast for 20 mins until softened and the edges of the vegetables are starting to char.
• Meanwhile put the bulgur wheat in a large bowl and pour over the hot stock, then cover tightly with cling film and leave to absorb the liquid for 15 mins until the grains are tender, but still have a little bite. In a separate bowl, mix the garlic and lemon juice into the yogurt and season to taste.
• Let the bulgur wheat cool slightly then toss in the roasted vegetables, chickpeas and spinach - the leaves may wilt a little. Season, if you want, drizzle with the garlicky yogurt and serve warm.
