- 400g tin of chickpeas
- 1 heaped tbsp dukkah
- 1 onion
- A large handful of flat leaf parsley
- 25g raisins
- A pinch or 2 of harissa powder
- 150g bulgar wheat
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt
- 300ml boiling water
- Roasting tin
- Medium pan with a lid
- Measuring jug
- 1.
Heat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Drain the chickpeas and tip them into a roasting tin. Add 1 heaped tbsp dukkah, ½ tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Shake the tin to roll the chickpeas around in the spices and oil. Slide the chickpeas into the oven and roast for 15 mins.
- 2.
While the chickpeas roast, fill your kettle and boil it. Peel and finely chop the onion. Place a mediumsized pan on a medium heat and add ½ tbsp oil, the onion and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 5 mins till the onion looks glossy.
- 3.
While the onion fries, slice the stalks off the parsley and then finely chop the stalks (keep the leaves for later).
- 4.
Tip the raisins into the pan with onion. Add the parsley stalks and a pinch of harissa (it’s spicy, so use as much of as little as you prefer). Cook, stirring, for 1 min.
- 5.
Tip in the bulgar wheat and stir, then pour in 300ml boiling water and stir again. Pop a lid on the pan (or use a baking tray if you don’t have a lid), bring to the boil then turn the heat off and let the bulgar wheat sit in the pan for 8 mins till the bulgar is tender and has absorbed all the water.
- 6.
While the bulgar soaks, finely chop the parsley leaves. When the bulgar is tender and the water has been absorbed, fluff it up with a fork. Stir in the parsley, then taste the bulgar and add a pinch more salt or harissa if you think it needs it. Divide between 2 warm plates and top with the roast chickpeas and dukkah to serve.
