Description

Ingredients

• 115g (1/2 cup) Bulgar wheat
• 15g (1/2 cup) parsley leaves, picked
• 15g (1/2 cup) coriander (cilatro) leaves, picked
• 1 cup cooked chickpeas (canned is fine)
• 1 Tablespoon Ras el Hanout
• Salt & pepper
• 5 baby carrots, or one large carrot, cut into batons
• A handful of green beans
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• Salt & pepper
• 65g (1/2 cup)cashews, soaked in hot water for 30 minutes.
• The flesh of one orange*
• 45ml (3 Tablespoons) olive oil
• 60ml (1/4 cup) water
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• Salt & pepper

Directions

• Cook the Bulgar wheat according to package instructions. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 210C (190C).
• Place the olive oil, Ras el Hanout, salt & pepper in a medium bowl, and stir to combine.
• Add the chickpeas to the bowl, and mix gently to ensure the chickpeas are well coated in oil and spices.
• Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a baking tray.
• Roast for 35 - 40 minutes, stirring frequently. Watch the chickpeas carefully towards the end of the cooking time as they burn easily.
• The chickpeas are ready when they are lightly browned and crispy. To test if they are ready, remove one from the oven and allow to cool. If the chickpeas are still chewy rather than crispy, they need a little more time in the oven.
• Allow the chickpeas to cool on the tray before using. These can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container until required. Any leftovers make a great snack.
• Pre-heat the oven to 200C (180C fan forced)
• Combine the ground coriander, ground cumin, olive oil and salt & pepper in a medium sized bowl. You can use the same bowl used for the chickpeas.
• Toss the carrots and green beans in the seasoned olive oil until well coated.
• Spread in a single layer on a baking tray.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are browned and cooked through.
• Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Drain the cashews.
• Blitz all of the ingredients together in a blender or food processor until smooth. If the dressing seems too thick add a little extra water to thin it out.
• Place the Bulgar wheat in the bottom of a large bowl. Arrange the roasted vegetables, parsley and coriander leaves, and roasted chickpeas over the Bulgar wheat.
• Drizzle with dressing just before serving.
