WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Boil a kettle. Add the bulgur wheat to a pot with plenty of boiled water and a pinch of salt (the same as you would for pasta) and cook over a high heat for an initial 6-7 min.
- While the bulgur wheat is cooking, heat a dry, large wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the flaked almonds and cook for 2-3 min or until toasted and golden. Once golden, transfer to a plate.
- Return the pan to a medium high heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. Once hot, add the salmon fillets and cook for 4-5 min on each side until golden and cooked through. Tip: Your fish is cooked once it turns opaque and flakes easily.
- Once the bulgur wheat has had 6-7 min, add the blanched peas to the pot and cook for further 5-6 or until everything is cooked and tender with a slight bite. Once done, drain everything and return to the pot.
- Meanwhile, peel the courgette into ribbons. Crumble the feta into rough bite-sized pieces. Strip the mint leaves from their stems and chop them finely, discard the stems. Cut the lemon in half.
- Add the juice of 1/2 lemon to a small bowl with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp water. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and stir it all together – this is your lemon dressing. Cut the remaining lemon into wedges.
- Add the courgette ribbons, lamb's lettuce, crumbled feta, most of the chopped mint (save the rest for garnish!) and lemon dressing to the cooked bulgur wheat. Give everything a gentle mix up – this is your courgette salad.
