1

Place a griddle pan over a high heat, and switch the oven to the lowest setting.

2

Bring 600ml of water to a boil in a pot with a pinch of salt. Pour in the bulgur wheat, place a lid on the pot and rest off the heat for 25 minutes, or until the water has completely soaked into the wheat.

3

Once cooked, add lemon zest and the juice from 1 lemon, then season to taste.
