INGREDIENTS

* 600 ml (1 pint) of water
* 5 oz (140 g) of bulgur wheat
* 2 oranges
* 1 green pepper
* ½ cucumber
* 1½ oz (40 g) of toasted flaked almonds
* ½ oz (15 g) of freshly chopped mint
* juice and rind of 1 lemon
* salt and pepper

• In a saucepan, place the bulgur wheat and add water. Let it come to a boil and cover using lid. Lower heat to allow simmering. Let it cook for about 15 minutes. Drain off excess liquids and transfer the mixture in a bowl.
• Wash and dice cucumbers. Remove pepper seeds and chop into small portions. Combine the pepper and cucumber with the bulgur wheat. Add the chopped mint and almonds.
• Add the lemon juice and grated lemon zest. Mix them thoroughly using a spoon. Cut the rind off the oranges together with the pith using a sharp knife. Divide the segments and cut it in half. Add this to the wheat mixture and add some salt together with pepper. Combine well and serve.
