Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Red Onion Diced
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil Extra Virgin is always best
  • 2 tsp Smoked Paprika Heaped
  • 1 Cup Bulgur Wheat
  • 2 Cup Water
  • 1/4 Cup White Wine
  • 1 Tin Chickpeas
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 200 g Vegan Feta Cheese
  • 4 Fresh Figs (not the dried ones)
  • 1 Handful Coriander Fresh
  • 1/4 Lemon
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat a little olive oil in a pan and add the red onion. Cook for 3 minutes until the onions have softened.
  • Sprinkle the smoked Paprika over the onion and give it a stir to make sure everything is coated. Cook for 2 minutes.
  • In the 2 minutes waiting take a saucepan and add 2 cups of water and turn up the heat.
  • Add 1/4 cup of white wine to the onion. Smell how good that is!
  • Drain and rinse 1 tin of chickpeas and add to the skillet. Give it a mix.
  • Add 1 cup of bulgur wheat to the now boiling water and turn off the heat.
  • At this point add the cayenne pepper to the skillet and some salt and pepper to the bulgar wheat
  • Cube cut a whole block of vegan feta cheese and add it to the skillet pan. Give it a mix. The feta will melt giving a rich creamy texture.
  • Cut 4 fresh figs in half, Scoop out the flesh from the skin with a spoon and cut the fresh figs into chunks. Add them to the pan.
  • Take a handful of coriander and chop it all up. Add most of it to the pan leaving only a little for garnishing your plate.
  • Add some salt and pepper and give it all a good mix.
  • Drain your bulgur wheat which should have now soaked up all the water. Add this to the skillet pan and again give it a mix. Add a little squeeze of lemon if you have one!
  • Serve it up in two bowls and enjoy :)
