Method
- Rinse the bulgur wheat in cold water until the water runs clear. Make up the vegetable stock pot to 600ml in a saucepan, add the bulgur wheat and bring to a simmer. Cook over a very low heat for 15 mins, adding the curly kale (tough stalks removed) for the last 2 mins.
- Tip into a bowl and leave to cool slightly. Stir in the spring onions, cucumber, apple, walnut pieces, pomegranate seeds, and the fresh parsley and mint.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Lebanese 7 spice, lemon juice, olive oil and sugar; season well. Pour over the tabbouleh and mix well to coat. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
