Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

Cooking the bulgur wheat in the roasting tin along with the vegetables ensures that the grains pick up all the wonderful flavours from the tin. This makes a filling vegetarian main, and also works very well in lunchboxes.

Ingredients

700g squash (about ½ a large squash), cut into 1cm cubes
1 large aubergine, cut into 1cm cubes
250g halloumi, cut into 1cm cubes
3 tbsp olive oil
1 medium bunch of fresh mint
A good pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
200g bulgur wheat
400ml vegetable stock

Method

Preheat your oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6. Mix the squash, aubergine, halloumi, olive oil, half the mint and a good pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper together in a roasting tin, then transfer to the oven and roast for 45 minutes.

Tip the bulgur wheat into the roasting tin and give it a good stir with the vegetables and oil. Add the stock and mix well so that the wheat is submerged in the stock. Cover tightly with foil, then return to the oven for a further 15 minutes.

Let it stand, covered, for a further 5 minutes before serving hot or cold, scattered with the remaining mint.
