Steps

  1. Prep & cook bulgur. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pot on medium-high heat. Cook onion for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add first measure of sumac pistachio blend and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add bulgur, stock and 1/2 tsp salt and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce heat to low and cook, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and leave to steam, covered, for about 5 minutes.
  2. Prep garnishes. Set aside to serve.
  3. Cook falafel. Heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick fry-pan on medium-high heat. Add falafel mix to pan and break up with a wooden spoon. Cook falafel for 6-8 minutes, until you have a golden crumbly mixture. Add second measure of sumac pistachio blend and a pinch of salt and cook a further minute, until fragrant. Season to taste.
  4. Finish bulgur. Fluff bulgur with a fork and season to taste.
  5. Serve bulgur and falafel topped with garnishes.
