    \n
  • 1 cup of bulgur wheat<\/li>\n
  • 2 cups of boiling water<\/li>\n
  • 1 oxo vegetable cube<\/li>\n
  • Diced red onion<\/li>\n
  • Diced cucumber<\/li>\n

  • Tin of chickpeas (drained)<\/li>\n
  • Chilli flakes<\/li>\n

    Method<\/h4>\n

    Put the bulgur wheat in a pan with the boiling water and crumble the oxo cube to it. Cook on a low heat, covered, until all the water has evaporated and the bulgur is cooked.<\/p>\n
