Start by cooking the bulgur wheat. Pour 1 tablespoon of oil into a small saucepan along with the cinnamon and heat gently until starting to sizzle. Add the bulgur wheat and stir. Continue to cook over medium heat for a couple of minutes until the bulgur wheat smells toasted and fragrant. Add the water and a big pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Cover with foil or a tight-fitting lid and turn the heat down as low as it will go. Cook for 10 minutes and turn off the heat. Leave to steam for 5 minutes before fluffing up the grains with a fork. Set aside to cool.
2 tablespoons rapeseed or olive oil, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, 200 g bulgur wheat, 400 ml cold water
Cut the chicken into very small bite-sized pieces. Place in a small bowl along with the zest of 1 blood orange and the sumac, garlic powder, chilli flakes and a good pinch of salt. Mix together well. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and add the chicken pieces. Fry the chicken pieces over medium heat until cooked through. This shouldn't take longer than a couple of minutes as the pieces are so small, so take care not to overcook.
1 large chicken breast fillet, 3 blood oranges, 1 ½ teaspoons sumac, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, pinch chilli flakes
In a large bowl mix together the cooled bulgur wheat, the blood orange chunks and the juice of 1 blood orange, the herbs and the spring onions. Taste and season if needed and add a drizzle of oil if liked. Serve with the chicken on top or mixed throughout if preferred.
small bunch of parsley, small bunch of coriander, 4 spring onions
Finish with a sprinkle of sumac, if you like.
Notes
Definitely make sure you leave the bulgur wheat to cool otherwise it will wilt your herbs.
