Clearly this baby has decided to be ‘fashionably late’ and not respect the due date assigned nearly nine months ago. So rather than huffing and puffing my way through labour, I set out to make dinner for us instead. Fast, simple and healthy was what I was in the mood for and the barbecue-friendly weather suited the recipe for the Great grilled side of salmon.

I have not had bulgur in a very long time. It’s a ridiculously healthy, nutty-flavoured wheat grain that we should eat more often. Perhaps it will help counteract the effect of my frequent visits to the new ice cream parlour that just opened up near my home. Bulgur is packed with nutrients like fibre, folate and manganese and it’s extremely easy to prepare. If you don’t think you can wait the 20 minutes for the bulgur to simmer, then make this dish with couscous instead, which takes only 5 minutes. Tabbouleh is a delicious Middle Eastern salad that can also be used as a great filler for a pita sandwich, should you be lucky enough to have leftovers for lunch the next day.
