Ingredients:

  • 3 Apples Grated
  •  200g bulgar wheat
  • 400ml vegetable or chicken stock 
  • 150g french beans 
  • 100g organic leaves

For the Dressing:

  • 1 crushed clove of garlic 
  • 2tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Sea Salt and Cracked Black Pepper

Method:

1. To cook the bulgar wheat, first rinse it thoroughly in a sieve under cold water.
2. Then place in a saucepan and cover with the stock.
3. Bring to a rapid boil, turn down & simmer for approx 12-15 mins until water is absorbed & grain is cooked. Fluff it through with a fork & set aside to cool.
4. To cook french beans. Bring a pot of water to the boil & add a TSP salt. Pop the trimmed beans straight into the water. Once the water comes back up to the boil, remove the beans & plunge into iced cold water.
5. To make the dressing, crush the garlic clove & put it into a mixing bowl. Pour in the balsamic & whisk in the olive oil & a good pinch of salt & pepper. If you prefer a sweeter taste add in a little honey.
6. Once bulgar & beans are cooled toss them together & mix in the leaves. Pour over the dressing & give it a good mix.
7. Delicious with meat or fish!
