Serves: 4

Method

Place the bulgur wheat in a bowl and soak in cold water for 1 hour. Drain thoroughly in a sieve and press out the excess water.

Mix together the oil, lemon juice and seasoning in a bowl. Add the bulgur wheat, then mix well, making sure all the grains are coated with the dressing. Leave at room temperature for about 15 minutes so the bulgur wheat can absorb some of the flavours.

Stir in the, chopped spring onions, parsley, mint, tomatoes and feta. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more lemon juice to sharpen the flavour, if necessary.

Separate out the leaves from the radicchio and select the best cup­shaped ones. Spoon a little of the tabbouleh into each one. Arrange on individual plates or on a serving platter and garnish with flat leaf parsley sprigs.
