Serves 2

Ingredients

1 red pepper

1 green pepper

1 quartered medium red onion

125g smoked lardons or small cubed cooking bacon

150g cherry tomatoes

3 Cloves of Garlic

1 tbsp    olive oil

25g  sunflower seeds or  pine nuts

25g crushed walnuts

1 Tsp. Allspice     

sea salt and  black pepper to taste

100g Bulgur wheat  ( not Cous Cous !)

200ml    vegetable stock

50g torn Mozzarella

Fresh leafy herbs   Basil, oregano or mint

Method

1. De-seed the peppers cut into chunks and place, along with the red onion, lardons and garlic cloves, into an oven proof dish. Add the olive oil, salt, allspice and pepper and roast for 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 190c. After the 15 minutes remove from the oven add the cherry tomatoes and sprinkle the mix with the sunflower seeds and crushed walnuts and cook for a further 5 minutes.

2. Reduce the oven temperature to 180c add the Bulgur wheat and stock and mix well. If your oven proof dish has a lid put it on now ( or seal the dish with tin foil ) and cook for a further 20 minutes

3. Remove the dish from the oven, scatter the mix with the torn mozzarella and fresh herbs. Serve with crusty fresh bread and butter and wash down with a chilled glass of your favourite dry white !

P.S   Veggies this recipe works just as well without adding the lardons.
